Opening night for the eight NHL prospects on the watch list. Four dressed, and two of those had nights worth writing down. Benjamin Rautiainen scored. Petteri Rimpinen won.

Petteri Rimpinen got the start for @KiekkoEspoo and beat @KalPa_Hockey 5-1, allowing one goal.

One goal against and a 5-1 win ... #GoKingsGo fans should be pleased.

And now we wait ...

@Liiga_SaiPa live -2.5. 🤞

[Empty Net Edge @emptynetedge]

@Liiga_SaiPa 2 | @Tapparaofficial 0

If SaiPa maintains its lead, look for a live -2.5 with four minutes remaining.

Target odds: -112

At the end of the first period across todauy's @smliiga action.

Two live betting opportunities developing but its still early.

@MikkelinJukurit 0 | @Pallokerho 1

If HPK maintains a one goal lead, you should look for a live -1.5 with four minutes remaining in the third period.

Target odds: +161.

👇 Some fun @smliiga stats below 👇

[Empty Net Edge @emptynetedge]

Today is the day!

@smliiga's 2026-27 season opens.

All seven games start at the same time.

Sport host Jokerit, the club's first Liiga game since 2013-14.

Three-season empty net baseline: 1,159 goalie pulls. 13.6% produced a goal, 36.8% one the other way.

[Empty Net Edge @emptynetedge]

Two others stand out.

1. Oliver Suvanto, Washington's first-rounder at 18th overall, is centring Tappara's second line. He is 17 years old and turns 18 on Thursday. #ALLCAPS

2. Petteri Rimpinen is listed as K-Espoo's starter. The King's 20-year-old fifth-round pick opens the season as a Liiga starter. #GoKingsGo

Of the eight NHL-drafted prospects we're tracking, four are dressed for opening night, one is a healthy scratch, and one isn't with his club at all.

According to Bader, Rautiainen's top comps are Mark Stone and Jordan Kyrou. Imagine adding someone of that calibre to Tampa's already strong roster. #GoBolts

@JeffMarek A respectable trio of former NHLers on one team in the @SHLse.

[Empty Net Edge @emptynetedge]

Holy stacked! 🚨🚨🚨

[SHL.se @SHLse]

Tre säsonger, tre tunga återvändare i @Brynas – var landar Calle Järnkrok poängmässigt?

[Empty Net Edge @emptynetedge]

The part of the game Jokerit have the least recent experience of is the part that has changed the most.

[Empty Net Edge @emptynetedge]

@jokerithc play their first @smliiga game in twelve years tomorrow.

The league they left is not the league they are rejoining, and the clearest way to see that is the end of games.

As a share of everything scored, empty-netters went from 4.4% to 6.0%. About one goal in every seventeen is now put into an unguarded net.
