Well, degens. Life hasn’t been as easy as we would have liked it to be this week. On Saturday night, our two-pack snack went just one for two. However, there was a good outcome last night in the form of the Toronto Maple Leafs going home. So now we move on to Sunday, where there are two games on the NHL Playoff slate. In the matinee matchup, we’ve got a Round 2 kick-off between the Rangers and Canes. And our nightcap will be another Game 7, with the VGK in Dallas. Here are my three best NHL Underdog Fantasy Picks for May 5.

The Quick Pick: Daily NHL Underdog Fantasy Pick ’em Picks for May 5
Andrei Svechnikov Higher Than 0.5 Points
The Carolina Hurricanes will begin a new series on Sunday against the New York Rangers. The current odds on favorite to hoist the Stanley Cup versus the Presidents Trophy winners. All of this means that we should have a fantastic series that might find a Game 7. But for Game 1, we’re looking at Carolina winger Andrei Svechnikov.
He tallied five points in their five-game series with the Islanders. And looking back into the regular season, Andrei logged two points in three games against the Rangers. We’re going with a road dog on Sunday afternoon with this first NHL Underdog entry. Go ahead and take Andrei Svechnikov Higher Than 0.5 Points to start our banger.
Adam Fox Higher Than 0.5 Points
We’ll keep things right here in the matinee matchup for our second NHL Underdog entry. The New York Rangers were no match for the Capitals in their first series. However, this upcoming series with the Carolina Hurricanes will be a massive test. For our banger’s purpose, we’re locking in Rangers defenseman Adam Fox today.
Fox had a wonderful first series, tallying two assists in four games. He is also one of the Ranger’s leading players in terms of time on ice. It’s simple arithmetic: if you see more ice time, then your chance of a point increases. So let’s grab Adam Fox to go Higher Than 0.5 Points in Game 1 against Carolina.
Miro Heiskanen Higher Than 0.5 Points
The Dallas Stars will have the luxury of skating on home ice for Game 7 tonight against the VGK. I believe they find a way to get the job done. And if that belief is going to come to fruition, then defenseman Miro Heiskanen will play a part. The Fin has put together five points across the first six games in the series.
He is also heavy in the time-on-ice department and will undoubtedly be one of the game leaders tonight. The game will be very tight and cagey, so we’re hoping for a bit of luck here, too. We’re taking Miro Heiskanen Higher Than 0.5 Points tonight to cash this got dayum banger!
