The Quick Pick: Daily NHL Underdog Fantasy Pick ’em Picks for February 18
Mikko Rantanen Higher Than 0.5 Assists
The Colorado Avalanche come into Sunday sitting comfortably in a playoff position. But if they want to improve their seed, then getting two points against teams like Arizona is necessary. Our first NHL Underdog entry is Finnish winger Mikko Rantanen. He has 29 goals and 41 assists this season.
And he comes into tonight’s game with assists in each of his last two games. Back in December, he also logged an assist against this very same Yotes team. So, we’ll keep it nice and easy with this first entry. Press Mikko Rantanen Higher Than 0.5 Assists on Sunday against the Coyotes.
Anze Kopitar Higher Than 0.5 Points
The LA Kings had fallen on some hard times in January. However, the calendar turned to February, and they’ve suddenly found three wins in four games. And it’s no coincidence that veteran centerman Anze Kopitar has points in each of those three wins.
On Sunday, the Kings will need him if they expect to find two points on the road against Pittsburgh. Back in November, Kopitar logged an assist against the Penguins, and it feels like one is loading tonight. We’re placing our trust in Anze Kopitar to go Higher Than 0.5 Points against the Penguins. Don’t let us down, old sport.
Erik Karlsson Higher Than 0.5 Assists
We’ll stay in Pittsburgh for our third NHL Underdog entry and turn to another veteran for help cashing our banger. EK65 has a solid seven goals and 30 assists this season, but it feels like he could and should have more. Sunday night, we’re looking for an assist, of which he has tallied three across his last five games.
Karlsson has also torched the Western Conference teams this season in the assist column. Not to mention, he picked two apples against these same Kings back in their November meeting. So grab your hammer and smash Erik Karlsson Higher Than 0.5 Assists on Sunday, and let’s cash this banger!
