Well, degens. Like Blink 182 once sang, “Good things come to those who wait,” because Friday night, we cashed our card. Although one of our entries was a late scratch, we went a profitable two for two. So, with 0.74x profits to our name this week, we’re taking some momentum into Saturday.
The NHL season is winding down rapidly, but there is still a jam-packed 13-game slate today. With 13 games on the 13th of April, who of you out there are even slightly superstitious?
Personally, I am more like Michael Scott and “just a little ‘stitious.” Anyway, let’s go ahead and build another banger and close this week stronger than a Russian arm wrestler. Here are my three best NHL Underdog Fantasy Picks for April 13.

The Quick Pick: Daily NHL Underdog Fantasy Pick ’em Picks for April 13
Cale Makar Higher Than 0.5 Points
The Colorado Avalanche will skate on home ice against the Winnipeg Jets in a Saturday matinee matchup. Both teams come into this game sitting on literally the same chair. Each has 79 games played, with 49 wins, 24 losses, and 6 OT defeats. Basically, the margins will be finer than a Playboy centerfold.
For our NHL Underdog card’s purposes, we are honing in on stud defenseman Cale Makar. This kid quite literally picks himself when the line is a single point. He is riding a four-game point streak into today’s matchup. And he now has tallied at least one point in 11 of his last 14 games.
Let’s keep Saturday’s first entry nice and easy. Happy. Go ahead and take Cale Makar Higher Than 0.5 Points against the Winnipeg Jets.
Quinn Hughes Higher Than 0.5 Points
The Vancouver Canucks travel to Edmonton on Saturday night in what should be an exciting contest. This one feels a bit more important to Edmonton from a points perspective, but neither team will want to take a defeat.
Defenseman Quinn Hughes has had an absolutely scorching season, with 17 goals and 74 assists for a total of 91 points. He has five points in his last two games and four multi-point nights in his last five games.
We’re all standing at the Craps table, and Quinn Hughes is just rolling the hot dice. Grab the sledgehammer and smash Quinn Hughes Higher Than 0.5 Points tonight against the Oilers.
Matt Boldy Higher Than 0.5 Assists
Last but certainly not least, on Saturday night, we’re heading out West for a matchup between the Wild and Sharks. Both team’s seasons are as dead as disco, but there is still some value in this game. Specifically, 23-year-old Wild winger Matt Boldy. He comes into the game on 64 points and has tallied assists in three straight games.
Oh, by the way, in two games against the Sharks this season, he has notched a goal and three assists. The table is set, and our banger is ready to be served. Let’s take Matt Boldy Higher Than 0.5 Assists in San Jose and have ourselves a feast!
