Monday night’s NHL Underdog entry went one out of three, and our season success rate stayed in the 56% range. Tuesday night brings a 10-game slate to the table, and I see plenty of opportunities to grab a bag. Like Clark Griswold told his family on Christmas, “We’re all in this together!” So forget about our misses, and let’s focus on swinging for a winner on Tuesday night. Here are my three best NHL Underdog Fantasy Picks for November 28.
The Quick Pick: Daily NHL Underdog Fantasy Pick ’em Picks for November 28
Brock Nelson Higher Than 0.5 Points
On Tuesday night, Brock Nelson and the Isles head to New Jersey for a meeting with the stagnant Devils. The New York Islanders centerman has quietly put together a solid 2023 campaign, with 10 goals and six assists. In recent form, Nelson has logged eight points, including three multi-point efforts, across his last six games. This contest is a big Metropolitan Conference matchup, and Nelson tallied three points in three games last season against the Devils. Let’s put this Tuesday night NHL Underdog entry into a Full Nelson and take Brock Nelson Higher Than 0.5 Points.
Pavel Buchnevich Higher Than 0.5 Points
The St. Louis Blues have put the train back on the tracks with three wins in their last four games. Tuesday night, Pavel Buchnevich and his squad travel to Minnesota in search of another victory. The Blues winger has back-to-back multi-point efforts heading into Tuesday and is now up to 16 points this season.
Don’t look now, but Buchnevich also has a monster 11 points in seven games against Minnesota in his last two seasons. Given Buchnevich’s recent and historical form, our second NHL Underdog entry feels like a Russian slam dunk. Go ahead and mash that Higher Than 0.5 Points for Pavel Buchnevich!
Victor Hedman Higher Than 0.5 Assists
Just like Simon and Garfunkel once sang, “Hello Hedman, our old friend. We’ve come to ask for your assists again.” In all seriousness, all the Swedish defenseman does when we use him is get our picks in the barn. Hedman is now riding a four-game assist streak into a Tuesday night meeting with the pesky Coyotes.
He also has tallied five assists in four games over the last two seasons against the Coyotes. I’m no rocket scientist, but those numbers appear to be favorable for our third NHL Underdog pick. So press Higher Than 0.5 Assists for Victor Hedman, and let’s collect our money!
