Well, degens. Wednesday night was more of a St. Valentine’s Day massacre than it was a lovefest ending with a banger. After going zero for three in yesterday’s picks, Thursday has no place left to go but up! The NHL boasts a 12-game slate tonight, so we are confident in getting this train back on track. Forget your troubles and forget your cares, let’s build this banger and take it down town! Here are my three best NHL Underdog Fantasy Picks for February 15.
The Quick Pick: Daily NHL Underdog Fantasy Pick ’em Picks for February 15
Nico Hischier Higher Than 0.5 Assists (1.25x Odds)
The New Jersey Devils are only two points off the pace for a Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. Tonight, they’ll welcome the LA Kings to their barn and really need two points. Nico Hischier has 16 goals and 19 assists this season, and tonight, I like him to snag an apple.
He is up to six assists across his last six games and has been potent on the Devils attack lately. This one has some pepper on it for a reason, but we’re going to take advantage of it. Let’s press Nico Hischier Higher Than 0.5 Assists on home ice against the LA Kings tonight.
Gustav Nyquist Higher Than 0.5 Points
Like the Devils above, the Nashville Predators are also just two points off the pace for a playoff spot. Thursday night will be a tough test with the Stars in town, so let’s lean on a reliable source of offense. Swedish winger Gustav Nyquist has 12 goals and 28 assists to date.
He also has three points in his last three games. Not to mention, less than a month ago, he netted a goal against these same Dallas Stars on their ice. Come on, Gustav, we’re only looking for one, my guy! Let’s take a stab at Gustav Nyquist Higher Than 0.5 Points against the Dallas Stars in this spot.
Elias Pettersson Higher Than 0.5 Assists
The Vancouver Canucks remain in the pole position in the Western Conference. Thursday night, they will welcome the visiting Detroit Red Wings onto their ice. They will probably be looking for revenge as they just lost to them in OT not five days ago. With that being said, we’re going to entrust Canucks talisman Elias Pettersson to snag an assist.
The Swedish center is a skating point machine, with 69 (nice!) points this season. In the game against Detroit five days ago, he tallied a goal and two assists. The hook has been baited. Time to cast our line and reel in a Pettersson apple. We’re mashing Elias Pettersson Higher Than 0.5 Assists and cashing this banger, dammit!
