The Quick Pick: Daily NHL Underdog Fantasy Pick ’em Picks for April 23
Vladimir Tarasenko Higher Than 0.5 Points
The Florida Panthers skate on home ice again after taking Game 1 in their series against the Tampa Bay Lightning. After acquiring Vladimir Tarasenko via a trade, the Panthers added some solid veteran depth. He accumulated 55 points this season, with three of those coming in four games against the Lightning.
After a bit of a slow start in Game 1, I expect the veteran presence of Tarasenko to shine through in Game Two. Do you hear that, Underdog gods? Maybe sprinkle some of that extra zest on Vladimir for the degens! Let’s go ahead and take Vladimir Tarasenko Higher Than 0.5 Points against the Lightning tonight.
Kyle Connor Higher Than 0.5 Points
Did anybody out there see the Winnipeg Jets dropping a seven-piece on the Colorado Avalanche in Game 1? After watching that drubbing, Game Two is a spot for the Jets stars to take a stranglehold on this series. For the aforementioned reasons, we’re honing in on stud American winger Kyle Connor.
He tallied 61 points in the regular season and had a three-point night in Game 1 against the Avs. Actually, Connor’s multi-point nights against Colorado aren’t uncommon because he logged two of them in two games against this season.
So we’re riding this Connor trend like a Kentucky thoroughbred to the finish line. Go ahead and smash Kyle Connor Higher Than 0.5 Points against Winnipeg on Tuesday night!
Quinn Hughes Higher Than 0.5 Points
What would a three-pack NHL Underdog banger be without the usage of Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes? He’ll probably have a Norris Trophy in his cabinet soon, and his performance in Game 1 was just another notch in his belt.
Hughes is an assist machine, and tonight against the Preds, it’s hard to see him not being involved in a goal-scoring play. For reference, Quinn has an assist in five of his last eight games. So grab your hammers and swing away at Quinn Hughes Higher Than 0.5 Points in Game Two against Nashville.
