After a two-day hiatus to spend quality time with family, the Quick Pick returns with more NHL Underdog action. Last week, players using the Insured option for The Quick Pick’s entries ended up with a solid 4.25x profit. Monday night, a new week begins with a four-game NHL slate ripe for the picking. Our 2024 pledge to you is that we can’t stop and won’t stop building bangers. With that in mind, here are my three best NHL Underdog Fantasy Picks for January 8.
The Quick Pick: Daily NHL Underdog Fantasy Pick ’em Picks for January 8
Travis Konecny Higher Than 0.5 Assists (1.25x Odds)
Somewhat shockingly, the Flyers are a few days into 2024 and sit in prime position to be a playoff team. This is due in part to Travis Konecny’s monster season, who has 21 goals and 15 assists in his account. Heading into Monday’s matchup against their division rival Penguins, Konecny is on a seven-game point streak.
Within that current streak, he’s notched five goals and five assists. To add credibility to our pick tonight, he’s tallied two assists in two games against the Penguins this season. So, let’s kick tires and light fires with Travis Konecny Higher Than 0.5 Assists at 1.25x odds against the Penguins!
J.T. Miller Higher Than 0.5 Assists
The wins continue to stack up for the Vancouver Canucks this season. Monday night, Vancouver travels to MSG in what promises to be a great matchup against the New York Rangers. Veteran centerman J.T. Miller has put together a rip-roaring 18-goal and 35-assist 2024 season thus far.
Coming into tonight, Miller already has two apples and five points in just three games this month. If the Canucks are going to find two more points tonight, I expect Miller to be in the thick of the action. It’s worth noting that he has two goals and an assist against his former team across the last two seasons.
Queue up J.T. Miller to go Higher Than 0.5 Assists in the world’s most famous arena on Monday night.
Tyler Seguin Higher Than 0.5 Points
The Dallas Stars are off to a painfully slow start in 2024, having lost all three games they’ve played. However, veteran Tyler Seguin has tallied three goals for three points in two straight games. As is the case in sports, teams who are struggling will often rely on their most experienced players.
Given Seguin’s recent good form but his team’s overall poor results, he has another point lined up in Monday’s crosshairs. Tonight, let’s trust the gritty veteran to knock in that point and fast-track our NHL Underdog ticket to the cashier. Go ahead and press the Higher Than 0.5 Points on Tyler Seguin against the Minnesota Wild.
