After a solid two out of three performance on Sunday night, The Quick Pick’s successful pick rate is nearly 76%. Those NHL Underdog players who tailed our three picks and played the Insured option still won 1.25x of their wager. Now we look to Monday with a padded wallet and a fresh five-game slate on the ice. In the words of a has-been American rock singer, let’s “keep rollin’, rollin’, rollin’, rollin’.” Here are my three best NHL Underdog Fantasy Picks for December 18.
The Quick Pick: Daily NHL Underdog Fantasy Pick ’em Picks for December 18
Nikolaj Ehlers Higher Than 0.5 Assists (1.25x Odds)
The Winnipeg Jets skate into Monday night’s matchup against the Montreal Canadiens, having won six of seven in December. And during the recent hot stretch, Danish winger Nikolaj Ehlers is practically melting the cover off of the puck. Ehlers now has four goals and seven assists for 11 total points here in December. He’s also tallied assists in six of their last seven, so the spicy 1.25x odds on Nikolaj are a steal. Someone better call the police because, at this price, there’s a robbery in progress! Let’s take Nikolaj Ehlers to go Higher Than 0.5 Assists on Monday night against the Montreal Canadiens.
Tyler Seguin Higher Than 0.5 Points
The Dallas Stars have been inconsistent in December but still find themselves seven points clear of that last wildcard spot. 31-year-old veteran center Tyler Seguin has logged nine goals and 12 assists for 21 points in 2023. Coming into Monday’s meeting with the Seattle Kraken, Seguin finds himself on a three-game point streak. And with points in five of his last eight games, his veteran presence can be relied upon. We’re not picky. Just a goal or a helper is all we ask for this holiday season, Mr. Seguin. Our second NHL Underdog pick is Tyler Seguin to go Higher Than 0.5 Points on home ice against the Seattle Kraken.
MacKenzie Weegar Higher Than 0.5 Points (1.25x Odds)
Our third NHL Underdog pick is skating for Calgary on Monday in what promises to be a game of reunions. The Florida Panthers come to town struggling on their road trip out West, having lost two of three. Even worse, the Calgary Flames have now lost four of their last five. However, former Panthers defenseman MacKenzie Weegar is riding a four-game point streak and will be looking for some revenge. His two assists and two goals across his last four games make the spicy price on Weegar look particularly delectable. Hell hath no fury like the scorn of a talented defenseman sent from sunny South Florida to blustery Alberta. For that reason, we’re mashing MacKenzie Weegar Higher Than 0.5 Points and cashing this near 10x banger!
