The NHL Underdog degens will get a three-game slate on Wednesday night to satisfy their hunger. Tuesday night, our picks went a lousy one out of four, which dropped our season’s successful pick rate to 58%. Like McConaughey told DiCaprio in Wolf of Wall Street, “Gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers in this racket.” Tonight, we go again, and the theme of our picks is points, points, points. Here are my three best NHL Underdog Fantasy Picks for November 8.
The Quick Pick: Daily NHL Underdog Fantasy Pick ’em Picks for November 8
Josh Norris Higher Than 0.5 Points
The 24-year-old Ottawa Senators centerman is a new face here in The Quick Pick article. But do not mistake his underutilization for his being selected without any sort of merit. Norris is sporting a quiet two-game point streak against tough competition from the Lightning and Kings. Wednesday night, he will face off against a Maple Leafs team who have demonstrated the inability to play defense. Norris also has logged eight points in 12 games against the Leafs over the last three seasons. Go ahead, Josh Norris, pop your cherry here on our pages and go Higher Than 0.5 Points on Wednesday night!
Drew Doughty Higher Than 0.5 Points
We now go from a newbie to a Quick Pick veteran who has served our loyal readers well in 2023. Doughty is always a point threat simply because of his time spent on the ice, especially on the power play. Recency bias shows us that he netted a goal for a point against the VGK just 11 days ago.
Historical bias shows us that Doughty has bagged seven points in seven games against the VGK over two seasons. Math was never my strongest subject, but a point-per-game average in that span would seem statically significant. No need for a calculator with this NHL Underdog entry. Let’s bang in Drew Doughty Higher Than 0.5 Points.
Shea Theodore Higher Than 0.5 Points
To round out Wednesday night’s NHL Underdog entries, we’ll stay within the nightcap of the three-game slate. The Golden Knights defenseman has tallied 12 points in 13 games played in 2023. Like the Kings defenseman we used above, Shea Theodore logs serious time on ice and is a constant point threat. And if that doesn’t wet your beak at all, then how about this: he logged a point against these same Kings 11 days ago. I anticipate this matchup to be back and forth, as their previous six meetings have produced at least six goals. So kick back, pour another beverage, and let’s get Shea Theodore Higher Than 0.5 Points in the barn!
