The Quick Pick has definitely had better days, as Tuesday night went an abysmal zero out of three. But, to quote a famous fraternity brother, “Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor!?” Wednesday night offers a small three-game NHL slate, and there’s a banger in there somewhere.
Since it’s Valentine’s Day, we’re going to need to give a little extra love to our picks. I think what John Lennon meant to sing was, “All your bangers need is love.” Let’s sprinkle that love onto our picks and ask for some help from the NHL Underdog gods tonight. Here are my three best NHL Underdog Fantasy Picks for February 14.

The Quick Pick: Daily NHL Underdog Fantasy Pick ’em Picks for February 14
Nikolaj Ehlers Higher Than 0.5 Assists (1.25x Odds)
The Winnipeg Jets are one of the more surprising teams this season in the NHL. They are sitting on 67 points coming into their midweek matchup against the lowly Sharks. Danish winger Nikolaj Ehlers has strung together 16 goals and 20 assists this year, and tonight, we need an apple.
He is coming off a solid performance against the Penguins last Saturday, and he did register an assist in that game. Back on January 4, Ehlers also logged an apple against these same Sharks he faces tonight. With a little extra 1.25x love on top, let’s take Nikolaj Ehlers Higher Than 0.5 Assists against the Sharks.
Carter Verhaeghe Higher Than 0.5 Assists (1.25x Odds)
The Florida Panthers are rolling these days and come into Wednesday with the third-highest points in the Eastern Conference. Tonight’s opponent is the Penguins, and we’re locked in on center Carter Verhaeghe. He has 26 goals and 27 assists this year, and we’ll take an apple from the Toronto native.
He has two assists in his last four games and also tallied an assist against Pittsburgh back in December. No fancy love songs are needed tonight for the guy they call “Swaggy Verhaeghe.” Go ahead and press Higher Than 0.5 Assists at 1.25x Odds for Carter Verhaeghe against Pittsburgh.
Brock Faber Higher Than 0.5 Points
This Minnesota Wild defenseman is quickly becoming a fan-favorite Underdog player for The Quick Pick. Tonight, he’ll square off with the Coyotes and will be bringing along a three-game point streak. Again, the Wild need to start stacking wins, and fast!
So let’s trust the young Faber to nab a point against a team below them in the standings. Just like Cyndi Lauper belted “time after time,” Faber will be there to catch us a banger. Let’s press Higher Than 0.5 Points for Brock Faber and cash a lovely little banger on Valentine’s Day!
