The Quick Pick: Daily NHL Underdog Fantasy Pick ’em Picks for January 27
Seth Jarvis Higher Than 0.5 Points
The Carolina Hurricanes just keep rolling on with life in the NHL; they are the literal definition of steady Eddie. Saturday night, they welcome the Arizona Coyotes into town, and we’re looking to Seth Jarvis for help. He is now on a nice little three-game point streak, with assists in each of his last three games.
Jarvis also makes things difficult on defenses because of his excellent awareness and anticipation. Let’s go ahead and take Seth Jarvis Higher Than 0.5 Points on home ice against the Coyotes.
Ivan Barbashev Higher Than 0.5 Assists (1.5x Odds)
If we’re being honest, it really pains me to see the VGK be as good as they are. And this season, they look like they’re in the mood to repeat as Stanley Cup Champions. Tonight, they travel to Detroit, and winger Ivan Barbashev is bringing the heat. He is on a five-game point streak, with four of those five being multi-point efforts.
With seven assists across his five-game point streak, we’ll gladly take the spicy 1.5x price for an apple tonight. Grab the hammer and smash Ivan Barbashev to go Higher Than 0.5 Assists against the Red Wings.
MacKenzie Weegar Higher Than 0.5 Points
The Calgary Flames defenseman is on an absolute heater of late, with goals in each of his last three games. With the lowly Chicago Blackhawks in town, this is a prime spot for Weegar to keep it going. Not to mention that MacKenzie tallied an apple against these same Blackhawks only three weeks ago.
If we’re going to nail this banger, then we’re going to need a Weegar point. So close your eyes, hit the Higher Than 0.5 Points on MacKenzie Weegar, and let’s steer this thing to safety.
