Were you frightened by the lack of NHL action on Halloween night? Stop your shrieking and start looking forward to Wednesday night’s four-game slate. After another solid night going two out of three, our season total inched upward to 69% correct picks via Underdog. The opportunities remain abundant on the ice, so let’s cook up a winning Wednesday night! Here are my three best NHL Underdog Fantasy Picks for November 1.
The Quick Pick: Daily NHL Underdog Fantasy Pick ’em Picks for November 1
Jeff Skinner Higher Than 3.0 Shots
Wednesday night’s matchup against the Flyers is big for the Sabres as they look to get back to .500 hockey. The Sabres veteran left winger is on what most folks would call a heater. Skinner is riding a five-game point streak with eight total points across those same five games. Aside from filling up the box score, Jeff Skinner is also averaging north of 3.7 shots on goal per game. Skinner also averaged over 3.5 shots per game against the Flyers in each of his last two seasons. Start Wednesday night’s NHL Underdog pick ’em with a bang and take Higher Than 3.0 Shots for Jeff Skinner.
Artturi Lehkonen Higher Than 0.5 Assists
After starting off a perfect 6-0-0, the Colorado Avalanche have now lost back-to-back games. Things also became a bit more dicey with the loss of superstar defenseman Cale Makar. Luckily, on Wednesday, they get a shot to right the ship against the lackluster St Louis Blues. Artturi Lehkonen has been in poor form away from home in 2023.
However, in just two games on home ice, he has tallied one goal, four assists, and added eight shots. A team looking to re-discover its groove paired with a player who clearly favors home ice goes together like spaghetti and meatballs. So grab your forks and twirl up the Higher Than 0.5 Assists on Artturi Lehkonen.
Frank Vatrano Higher Than 0.5 Points
On Wednesday night, the Ducks return to home ice having claimed four wins in a row on the road. Frank Vatrano must have really enjoyed his time away after scoring five goals in those four games. Tonight, he faces off against the pesky Arizona Coyotes, a team he registered a goal against just 11 days ago. Now, I don’t claim to know much about boats, but I do know the importance of having a good anchor. Tie Wednesday’s NHL Underdog entry off at the dock and weigh your anchor with Frank Vatrano Higher Than 0.5 Points.
