Monday night for The Quick Pick was one to quickly forget, as our entries went a measly one for three. Besides, tonight’s 10-game slate on the ice is juicier than a Florida orange. Since things didn’t work too well with the kitchen analogy yesterday, let’s employ the train one today. The Quick Pick freight train is leaving the station, and its next stop is banger-town. So, climb aboard, and let’s scoop this bag together. Here are my three best NHL Underdog Fantasy Picks for March 12.

The Quick Pick: Daily NHL Underdog Fantasy Pick ’em Picks for March 12
Tim Stutzle Higher Than 0.5 Points
At this point in the season, the Ottawa Senators are playing for pride. Tuesday night, they’re on home ice and sit right next to the Titanic at the bottom of the Atlantic (division).
German winger Tim Stutzle is still in fine form and comes in with 15 goals and 43 assists. He also is riding a two-game point streak into this contest against the Penguins.
Oh, by the way, in two games against Pittsburgh this season, Stutzle has a goal and two assists. Our first NHL Underdog entry is designed by the trusty German engineering. Let’s take Tim Stutzle Higher Than 0.5 Points against the Penguins.
Joel Eriksson Ek Higher Than 0.5 Assists (1.1x Odds)
The Minnesota Wild are coming off an essentially season-saving OT win against Nashville on Sunday. I say this because basically every game moving forward is a must-win for Minnesota.
Tuesday night, they’ll be at home against the lowly Coyotes, and we’re keying in on Joel Eriksson Ek for an apple. The Swede is up to 29 goals and 31 assists this season and is riding a four-game assist streak.
One of those came against these same Coyotes out in the desert no less than a week ago. So come on, Sweden, bring us an apple. We’re going to take Joel Eriksson Ek Higher Than 0.5 Assists at a nice price.
Cale Makar Higher Than 0.5 Points
Tuesday night the Colorado Avalanche head North towards Calgary for a meeting with the Flames. Colorado has won three straight, meanwhile the Flames playoff hopes are about to burn out.
Let’s focus on stud defenseman Cale Makar in this spot and look for a singular point. He is up to 70 points on the season and has tallied six in his last six. Adding further credibility to the entry, Makar has tallied three points in two games against Calgary this season. So grab those hammers and smash Cale Makar Higher Than 0.5 Points tonight against the Flames.
