Saturday’s in the NHL are tailor-made for all of you degens. With 13 games spanning across two continents on the slate, you should definitely find a way to get your fix. Unfortunately, Friday night’s entry wound up in the garbage, but our season success rate is still at 55%. The good news, though, is that I have found three players who are going to help get us off the schneid. So, lace up your shoes and find some comfortable socks because this is a marathon, not a sprint. Here are my three best NHL Underdog Fantasy Picks for November 18.
The Quick Pick: Daily NHL Underdog Fantasy Pick ’em Picks for November 18
Victor Hedman Higher Than 0.5 Assists
The veteran Swedish defenseman has put together another rock-solid season here in 2023. Hedman has tallied 15 total assists, with seven of them coming in his last seven games. The Lightning will face the Oilers on Saturday afternoon, a team Hedman logged 2 assists against last season. A deeper dive into the numbers also shows that Hedman has a knack for tallying assists against Canadian-based teams. Let’s keep our first NHL Underdog pick on Saturday nice and Swedish. Go ahead and press the Higher Than 0.5 Assists for Victor Hedman.
Jesper Bratt Higher Than 0.5 Assists
Why not stay in the country of Sweden with our second NHL Underdog pick and target Devils winger Jesper Bratt? Like his fellow countryman above, Bratt has put together a rock-solid 2023 season with 14 assists. Jesper also comes into Saturday’s matchup with the New York Rangers on a mini two-game assist streak. A quick look back at the last couple of seasons shows that Bratt finds the box score against the Rangers. The Devils should get Jack Hughes back for this one, which means even more premium opportunities on the ice. Let’s look for a helper from Jesper Bratt and take Higher Than 0.5 Assists.
Oliver Bjorkstrand Higher Than 0.5 Points
The Seattle Kraken winger has notched six goals and eight assists here in 2023. On Saturday, Bjorkstrand will meet the Canucks and look to make it three nights in a row with a point. There is something about the Kraken versus Canucks matchups that breeds goals; their last five played have yielded no less than seven in each contest. With goals come points, and with points comes Bjorkstrand. You don’t have to look far for proof, as Oliver tallied four points in three games against just last season. Let’s finish off Saturday’s NHL Underdog entry with a bang and get Oliver Bjorkstrand Higher Than 0.5 Points in the hole.
