In the words of Rick Jeanneret, it’s “time to go top shelf, where mama hides the cookies! Here are my three best NHL Underdog Fantasy Picks for March 7.
The Quick Pick: Daily NHL Underdog Fantasy Pick ’em Picks for March 7
Evgeni Malkin Higher Than 0.5 Points
The Penguins are just about on the brink of missing the playoffs, but tonight is rivalry night against the Capitals. It’s been a down year for the Pens, but this struggling Sabres fan certainly isn’t shedding a tear. All that being said, 37-year-old centerman Evgeni Malkin has put together a 48-point season. He also comes into Thursday’s game against the Capitals with points in each of his last two games. Add in the fact that he has demolished the Capitals this season with five points in two games. Sounds like we found our first soft spot in the NHL Underdog zone with this entry. Let’s take Evgeni Malkin to go Higher Than 0.5 Points against the Washington Capitals.
Filip Forsberg Higher Than 0.5 Points
Lately, the Nashville Predators have found a spot in my cold, dark hockey heart. Perhaps it’s because each time we utilize their players, they do their job and get us what we need. Tonight, we’ll tap veteran winger Filip Forsberg to do our heavy lifting and snag us a point. The Buffalo Sabres are in town so I can easily envision a good night for the Preds. Not to mention that Forsberg comes into tonight’s game on a six-game point streak. Let’s not make this harder than it needs to be with NHL Underdog entry number two. We’re mashing Filip Forsberg to go Higher Than 0.5 Points against the Sabres.
Kevin Fiala Higher Than 0.5 Points
The Kings are getting their train back onto the tracks, and on Thursday night, they’ll welcome the lowly Sens to town. They really need two points against this team to solidify a playoff spot. 27-year-old winger Kevin Fiala has been a point machine lately, with eight points in his last four games and goals in three of his last four games. Kevin is rolling hot dice, so tonight, we’re putting our chips in play. Go ahead and mash Kevin Fiala Higher Than 0.5 Points against the Ottawa Senators. We’ve got a banger to cash!
