Saturday night in the NHL offers a tasty nine-game slate for the degens to try and pad their bankrolls. Friday night, we went two of four, but all four picks registered either a point, an assist, or a goal. Unfortunately, this isn’t horseshoes or hand grenades, so close doesn’t count. Let’s dust ourselves off, put on our winning pants, and have a day! Here are my four best NHL Underdog Fantasy Picks for October 28!
The Quick Pick: Daily NHL Underdog Fantasy Pick ’em Picks for October 28
Evan Rodrigues Higher Than 0.5 Assists (1.25X Odds)
Unlike Jack Eichel, Evan Rodrigues is one former Buffalo Sabres player I truly do miss. The Florida Panthers are off to an average start in 2023, but Rodrigues is feeling it. He has tallied six assists across their six games and is averaging nearly four shots on goal per game. Saturday night, the Kraken visit South Florida, a team Rodrigues has three assists in five career games against. At 1.25X odds, let’s take Evan Rodrigues to go Higher Than 0.5 Assists and get our NHL Underdog entry started!
Bryan Rust Higher Than 0.5 Points
The Penguins veteran winger has already registered five goals and one assist in seven games this season. It’s also worth noting that Rust has tallied a point in all four of the Penguins home games this season. On Saturday night, the Ottawa Senators are in town, a team Rust has five points in six games against over the last two seasons. The season is still young, but tonight feels like a must-win for the Penguins. If Eric Prydz were writing this, he’d sing “Call On Me” to Bryan Rust to go Higher Than 0.5 Points.
Artemi Panarin Higher Than 0.5 Assists
There’s an old saying: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. That saying applies when it comes to utilizing Artemi Panarin as an NHL Underdog pick ’em entry. The Rangers come into Saturday on a three-game win streak, largely in part due to the “bread man.” He has tallied assists in six of seven games with 10 total points to start his season. Oh, by the way, he has four assists in four games over the last two seasons against the Canucks. Grab your knife and butter your NHL Underdog entry bread with Artemi Panarin Higher Than 0.5 Assists.
Drew Doughty Higher Than 0.5 Points
The veteran Kings defenseman did his part in last night’s Underdog entry and looked really good in the process. Saturday night, he’ll have a quick turn-around and welcome the VGK to his home barn. Doughty is starting to heat up and has a history of finding the box score against the Golden Knights. Like the “bread man” above, if using Drew Doughty ain’t broke, then don’t fix it. Let’s anchor Saturday night’s entry with Drew Doughty Higher Than 0.5 Points and steer this ticket right into the cashier.
