There’s an old saying that goes something like “it isn’t how you start, it’s how you finish.” And Friday night, we definitely finished with yet another three out of three bangers. The Quick Pick degens who tailed Friday’s NHL Underdog card made a whopping 9x on their investment. Go here for NHL expert picks.
Saturday night offers a packed 12-game slate, but get those last-minute plays in now. Because after Saturday night, the NHL takes a holiday break for a few days. I hope your presents are wrapped, and families are preoccupied; there’s a banger to cash on Christmas Eve Eve. Here are my three best NHL Underdog Fantasy Picks for December 23.
The Quick Pick: Daily NHL Underdog Fantasy Pick ’em Picks for December 23
Morgan Rielly Higher Than 0.5 Points
The Toronto Maple Leafs have been playing Swiss Cheese defense lately, having conceded 14 goals in their last two games. However, over their last five games, the Leafs have scored an insane 24 goals of their own. Saturday night, the Leafs travel to Columbus, and I fully anticipate another goal fest.
Let’s key in on defenseman Morgan Rielly in this spot, who has an assist in each of his last three games. The Blue Jackets also allow a whopping 3.62 goals against per game, so Rielly’s opportunities will be plenty. Grab the hammer and mash the Higher Than 0.5 Points for Morgan Rielly against the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight.
Alex DeBrincat Higher Than 0.5 Assists (1.25x Odds)
The Detroit Red Wings are a pretty good hockey team. But, the month of December has been one to forget, with seven losses out of 11 games. Alex DeBrincat has been a brighter spot in an otherwise dreary month, having tallied 10 points in those 11 games. Saturday night, the Red Wings will travel to New Jersey for a meeting with the Devils.
Coming off a three-assist night on Friday, DeBrincat, at 1.25x Odds, here is third-degree robbery. So, degens, wear your gloves, just in case they dust for prints. We’re smashing Alex DeBrincat to go Higher Than 0.5 Assists against the Devils on Saturday night.
Noah Hanifin Higher Than 0.5 Points (1.25x Odds)
Our third NHL Underdog play will be in one of the nightcap matchups as the Calgary Flames visit the Kings. When these two teams meet it is usually some very good television-watching. Calgary rolls into town on a three-game heater, and Noah Hanifin has points in two of those three.
With points tallied in six of 10 games in December, getting Hanifin to log a point tonight at 1.25x is definitely stab-worthy. So let’s bite down on this one and give her everything we’ve got. We’ll take Noah Hanifin to go Higher Than 0.5 Points and cash a 9.37x banger!
