Well, degens. Our Tuesday night effort at a banger came up just a Quinn Hughes point short. After going two for three, Insured option players still scooped up a nice 0.51x profit on the night. So, with the NHL Playoff pot still on the boil, we shift our focus to Thursday night’s two-game docket. The Carolina Hurricanes find themselves sailing into must-win territory. While the Dallas Stars will want to shake off a crippling Game 1 collapse to Colorado. Here are tonight’s three best NHL Underdog Fantasy Picks for May 9.
The Quick Pick: Daily NHL Underdog Fantasy Pick ’em Picks for May 9
Sebastian Aho Higher Than 0.5 Points
When it comes to getting the job done in Carolina, Finnish winger Sebastian Aho is your guy. Throughout the regular season, he logged a very respectable 36 goals and 53 assists. He has continued his onslaught on the competition with five points across two games in this series against New York. On Thursday night, the waters will be mighty treacherous, so we’ll need Aho’s steady hand at the helm. Aho has been a point machine against the Rangers, and I fully expect his name to meet the box score tonight. If you’re feeling really frisky, I’d venture to say he grabs another assist. For this banger’s purposes, go ahead and take Sebastian Aho Higher Than 0.5 Points in Game 3 against the Rangers.
Vincent Trocheck Higher Than 0.5 Points
Our second NHL Underdog entry came right out of the regular season frying pan and into the playoffs fire. The former Carolina Hurricane Vincent Trocheck has been magical for the Rangers throughout the playoffs. In fact, Trocheck has tallied at least a point in every single game he’s played in the postseason. And with four points in two games against Carolina, you know Trocheck will push to keep the streak alive. His team also needs him to keep his foot on the gas pedal. So let’s go ahead and wash, rinse, and repeat with the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania native. We’re taking Vincent Trocheck Higher Than 0.5 Points against the Canes tonight.
Jamie Benn Higher Than 0.5 Points
The Dallas Stars scratched and clawed their way through the series against the VGK. Then, in Game 1 against Colorado, they stormed out to a three-goal lead only to choke in OT. Tonight on home ice, they’ll look to put things right, and it starts with veterans like Jamie Benn. He had a 60-point regular season and notched four points in four games against Colorado. Now, in the playoffs, Benn has already tallied a two-point night against these Avs. I would fully expect to see Benn continuing to apply pressure tonight and land on the box score. So come on, folks, let’s get this point and feast on another banger! Grab Jamie Benn Higher Than 0.5 Points in Game 2 against Colorado, and we’ll make it happen.
