Ladies, gentlemen, and degens, Saturday night was really a night of what-ifs and only-ifs. Unfortunately, those platitudes don’t cash tickets, and our entry went a lousy one out of three. The Sunday NHL slate is lighter than a non-alcoholic beer, with just two games on the docket.
Luckily, both Standard and Insured option players who have tailed The Quick Pick are up big this week. For that reason, let’s get nuts on Sunday and go for a monster banger. And when it hits, you’ll forget all about the failures of your NFL team. Here are my three best NHL Underdog Fantasy Picks for January 28.

The Quick Pick: Daily NHL Underdog Fantasy Pick ’em Picks for January 28
Adrian Kempe Higher Than 1.5 Points (1.75x Odds)
The Los Angeles Kings are stuck in first gear here in January, having won just two out of thirteen games. I still think they can be a factor in the Western Conference, but they’ll certainly need to get things going. One guy who already has things going is winger Adrian Kempe, who has 16 goals and 26 assists.
I expect him to play a big part in Sunday’s matinee matchup against the St Louis Blues. In fact, the last time these two teams met, Kempe had a goal and an assist. Let’s take Adrian Kempe to do that again and press Higher Than 1.5 Points for Adrian Kempe.
Yegor Chinakhov Higher Than 0.5 Assists (2x Odds)
The Columbus Blue Jackets are a struggling hockey team, hence why they sit dead last in the Metropolitan Division. Sunday night, they’ll travel West to Seattle, and we’re looking at a spicy 2x price on winger Yegor Chinakhov.
To date, Chinakhov has tallied 10 assists this season. But, he comes into this game with an assist in each of his last two games.
If Yegor can do it twice, then certainly he can do it thrice! Grab the cayenne pepper and sprinkle it on Yegor Chinakhov Higher Than 0.5 Assists in Seattle.
Jared McCann Higher Than 0.5 Points
Ah Jared McCann, am I happy to see you here as our third NHL Underdog entry. I say that because the Kraken centerman always delivers when we need him most.
He comes into Sunday night’s matchup riding a five-game point streak. And oh, by the way, just two weeks ago, he had a monster night in Columbus with two goals and an assist.
When you’re taking a home run cut, you sit on your pitch. Tonight, that pitch is Jared McCann. Let’s take McCann to go Higher Than 0.5 Points at home against the Blue Jackets and cash up to 21x!
