Alright, degens. Who pissed off the NHL Underdog gods? I only ask because, after our banger on Thursday night, we went “oh-for” on Friday night. But we aren’t here to whine and complain about not catching a break. This is The Quick Pick, and we will always find a way to get it going. On Saturday night, we turn our eyes to Game 2 in Dallas for the Oilers versus Stars. This matchup will be hotter than the Summer weather in Texas. So pour yourselves a drink, fire up that Underdog app and let’s get to building a two-pack snack. Here are Saturday night’s two best NHL Underdog Fantasy Picks for May 25.
The Quick Pick: Daily NHL Underdog Fantasy Pick ’em Picks for May 25
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Higher Than 0.5 Assists
Two nights ago, the Edmonton Oilers stole an overtime win in Game 1 against Dallas. On Saturday night the team should be refreshed and ready to give it another go. Our value hunting glasses are back on and tonight we have spotted Ryan Nugent-Hopkins again. Hopefully, he brought a basket with him on the road trip because tonight we’re putting an apple in it.
Throughout the regular season, the former number-one overall pick tallied 49 assists across 80 games. And here in the post-season, Ryan has only gone and notched 13 assists in 13 games played. The numbers and facts speak for themselves, and this entry should be mashed with every hammer you have. If there are any lingering doubters out there, just take a quick look and see that Nugent-Hopkins has tallied an assist in three straight games. The defense now rests and it’s time to lock in Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Higher Than 0.5 Assists in Game 2 tonight.
Miro Heiskanen Higher Than 0.5 Assists
The Dallas Stars come into Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals in yet another one-game hole. In fact, one might even be able to argue that Dallas has Edmonton right where they want them. I only say this because the Stars have now dropped Game 1 in each of their three playoff series this year. But for those who’ve paid attention, they all know how the story has ended. So expect a Stars bounce back in Game 2 and their star defenseman, Miro Heiskanen to lead the charge.
The 24-year-old Finnish defenseman had a quiet, but productive, regular season. With nine goals and 45 assists, he was a reliable source of offense on most nights. And here in the post-season, Miro is now up to averaging almost a point per game. Tonight, we’re searching for an apple, and Heiskanen will find a juicy one. So let’s go ahead and press Higher Than 0.5 Assists for Miro Heiskanen and cash this two-pack snack!
Play these two players together using the “Standard” option on Underdog for a 3x winner.
