Well, degens. I would like to think that Saturday’s entries can be chalked up to a little thing called variance. After going just one out of three, it would have to be, right? The Quick Pick has been hotter than the surface temperature on Venus, and on Sunday, we’re going again. Not only are there two more NHL Playoff games, but we also celebrate all of our wonderful Mothers out there. So, what better way to celebrate the women who gave birth to us degens than by cashing a banger? A famous NY mayor once said, “If you will it so, it will be so.” Here are tonight’s three best NHL Underdog Fantasy Picks for May 12.

The Quick Pick: Daily NHL Underdog Fantasy Pick ’em Picks for May 12
Aleksander Barkov Higher Than 0.5 Assists
The Florida Panthers are really starting to assert their dominance in their series against the Bruins. On Mother’s Day, Florida will be in Boston, where they look to take a three game to one lead. Our first NHL Underdog entry will be none other than the hottest Fin on skates, Aleksander Barkov. In this series he has already tallied five assists in three games played.
And looking back further, Barkov tallied three assists in five games against the Lightning. So we’re keeping things balanced and taking the Fin to snag an apple. Go ahead and press the Higher Than 0.5 Assists for Aleksander Barkov in Game 4 against Boston.
Evan Bouchard Higher Than 0.5 Points
This second NHL Underdog entry on Sunday night needs no introduction at all. And if you are a loyal reader and tailer, you know Evan Bouchard’s powers. The Oilers defenseman is on an absolute tear in the playoffs. He skates into Game 3 against the Canucks on a five-game point streak. He’s contributing on all fronts as well, with both two goals and nine assists in the playoffs.
The Oilers got a big-time win in Game 2, and if they want to snag a win tonight, Bouchard will need to be a factor. We’re going to keep riding the Bouchard Bus because all it keeps doing is delivering. Grab the hammer and smash Evan Bouchard Higher Than 0.5 Points in Game 3 against Vancouver.
Brock Boeser Higher Than 0.5 Points
Our third NHL Underdog entry will be American winger Brock Boeser. While he tallied 73 points in the regular season, Boeser has already contributed eight points in eight playoff games. The Canucks winger also is working on a nice three-game point streak, and tonight smells like a fourth. There is no need to overcomplicate this one and the value is found in a guy like Brock.
So go ahead and do it for your Mom and us degens, Mr. Boeser. Mama, we’re coming home. We’re taking the Higher Than 0.5 Points for Brock Boeser and cashing a Mother’s Day banger.
