The Quick Pick: Daily NHL Underdog Fantasy Pick ’em Picks for November 9

Victor Hedman Higher Than 0.5 Assists

It seems like each time we call upon Victor Hedman with an NHL Underdog entry, he answers without hesitation. Tuesday night, he banged in the point we needed inside the first eight minutes of the first period. Thursday night, the Lightning welcome Chicago to town, and Hedman is already sporting 13 assists in 2023.   The Swede has also tallied four assists in four games against Chicago over his last two seasons. Like your grandfather used to tell you, “If it ain’t broke, then don’t fix it.” Listen to Grandpa. Our first NHL Underdog entry is Victor Hedman Higher Than 0.5 Assists.

Jaden Schwartz Higher Than 0.5 Points

While the Kraken are finding things to be difficult in their 2023 season, Jaden Schwartz is firing on all cylinders. He currently finds himself in the midst of a seven-game point streak heading into Thursday night’s matchup with Colorado. Schwartz has four goals and five assists during the streak, and his services will definitely be required against the Avalanche. Add in that he logged four points in two games against the Avs last season, and this one feels like a slam dunk. Lace up your Jordans because we’re flying with Jaden Schwartz Higher Than 0.5 Points.

Erik Karlsson Higher Than 0.5 Assists

Two veteran Swedish defensemen to record an assist in the same NHL Underdog entry? It’s only crazy if it doesn’t work out, so to answer my own question, YES! EK65 has tallied seven assists here in 2023 and is riding a three-game assist streak. Not to mention, those three assists have come against teams located in California, and on Thursday, he will be in LA. Karlsson has a nose for finding the box score against the Kings, registering seven assists in six games over the last two seasons. With plenty of data to support it, our third NHL Underdog pick is Erik Karlsson, Higher Than 0.5 Assists.

Connor McDavid Higher Than 0.5 Goals

I’ve already used plenty of quotes and sayings in this article, so why not drop one more for Mr. McDavid? The one that comes to mind here is, “Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me!” The reason for using that saying is because the Oilers have been altogether terrible. Yet, each time I think McDavid will bust out of it, he burns our NHL Underdog entry to the ground. Thursday night, he gets a shot against the NHL’s bottom-feeder, the San Jose Sharks. If he can’t get us home in this spot, I will wash my hands of his name for good. So do not go gentle into that good night. Let’s take Connor McDavid Higher Than 0.5 Goals.
