I have said before that the NFL tries its hardest to distract the NHL degens on Sundays. I have also said to remain laser-focused on the NHL because that’s where the money is to be made. With five games on Sunday, the NHL is hiding a bag of cash somewhere. So grab a coffee, pour bourbon into it, and read these clues to help you find that bag of cash. Here are my three best NHL Underdog Fantasy Picks for November 12.
The Quick Pick: Daily NHL Underdog Fantasy Pick ’em Picks for November 12
Connor Bedard Higher Than 0.5 Points
The 18-year-old rookie sensation travels to Sunrise, Florida, for a Sunday matinee matchup with the Panthers. Bedard has already tallied seven goals and added four assists in his 12 career NHL games. And coming off a four-point night in Tampa, he must have drank some really good Florida orange juice. For a rookie to be averaging nearly a point a game is truly something special. So, move over to Jose Mourinho. There’s a new “Special One” in sports, and his name is Connor Bedard. Let’s “kick off” our NHL Underdog Sunday entry and take Connor Bedard Higher Than 0.5 Points.
Aleksander Barkov Higher Than 0.5 Assists
Our second NHL Underdog entry will also play in the Sunday matinee, and it’s Panthers Finnish centerman Aleksander Barkov. His historical splits tell a straightforward story, and the story is that Barkov fills the stat sheet against Chicago. Currently riding a five-game point streak and three-game goal-scoring streak, Barkov is hotter than atomic chicken wings.
Let’s mix in another fact and share that Barkov tallied an assist against these same Blackhawks eight days ago. The case has been built, and the defense now rests. The verdict is in. Let’s mash Aleksander Barkov Higher Than 0.5 Assists against the Blackhawks.
Artemi Panarin Higher Than 0.5 Goals (1.25X Odds)
Being from Buffalo, we know that chicken wing flavors range broadly in levels of heat. If Barkov is hotter than an atomic wing, then Artemi Panarin is a Carolina Reaper on the Scoville scale. The “bread-man” has started his 2023 season by registering at least one point in every single game he has played in. Panarin is also in the midst of a three-game goal-scoring streak and welcomes his former team to MSG on Sunday.
Simply put, the man is on a mission and will not be stopped until it is complete. At 1.25X odds for a guy on a three-game goal-scoring streak, this price is a bargain. So keep your head still. Panarin’s our thrill. The night will go on. Open the cash till! Let’s have ourselves a Sunday Funday and nail this banger. Grab that hammer and pound Artemi Panarin Higher Than 0.5 Goals!
