Unfortunately, Sunday night’s NHL Underdog entry was a bigger bust than Johnny Manziel in the NFL. Monday night provides all of you degens with a seven-game slate to ponder over and build a winner with. Our season success rate has stalled out a bit over the last two weeks but still sits comfortably at 55%. The theme of the night on Monday will be points. We don’t care how, we don’t care why, we just care that the points are tallied. So brush yourselves off and prepare to catch fire. Here are my three best NHL Underdog Fantasy Picks for November 20.
The Quick Pick: Daily NHL Underdog Fantasy Pick ’em Picks for November 20
Evan Bouchard Higher Than 0.5 Points
The Edmonton Oilers fired their coach just eight days ago and have gone 2-1 since the decision. Defenseman Evan Bouchard has tallied four points and is averaging 3 shots on goal in these three games. Monday night, the Oilers are in South Florida to take on the surging Panthers, and this matchup reeks of goals.
Although Bouchard has just one point in four career appearances against Florida, he is consistently logging heavy time on ice. With an expected goal fest incoming and playing alongside revitalized teammates, I like Evan’s opportunity tonight. Let’s call our shot with our first NHL Underdog pick and take Evan Bouchard Higher Than 0.5 Points in Florida.
Cale Makar Higher Than 1.5 Points (1.5X Odds)
Coming into Monday night’s matchup against the Nashville Predators, Cale Makar is a man on literal fire. Currently riding a six-game point streak, Makar has logged three multi-point games in a row for the Avalanche. Over his last two seasons, the defenseman has tallied 10 points across six meetings with the Predators.
This Avs team has also scored 19 in their last three, while Nashville is giving up over 3 goals per game. At 1.5X Odds, the price on Makar here could melt and then boil the very ice that he skates on. Go ahead and make it four in a row tonight. Let’s take Cale Makar Higher Than 1.5 Points in Nashville.
Oliver Bjorkstrand Higher Than 0.5 Points
The Danish winger skates into Monday night’s meeting with the inconsistent Flames riding a three-game point streak. Bjorkstrand has also tallied at least one point in the six games where the Kraken come in as money-line favorites. And, oh, by the way, he logged a point against these same Calgary Flames earlier in the month of November. So, in a matchup that is historically a breeding ground for goals, the evidence is overwhelmingly “pointing” to Bjorkstrand. All crappy puns aside, let’s round out our NHL Underdog entry with Oliver Bjorkstrand Higher Than 0.5 Points in Seattle.
