mitrash natalyushkaTI Welcome to Zak’s Puck Picks!! I started in Cash with Flash Handicapping Challenge and have been heating up. I am super excited to keep the momentum going and win some serious money talking Puck Picks with all of you!
A big part of my life is my three kids. Each one of them holds a different attribute that I would personally use to aid me in deciding what picks to make. My twins Pork and Ribs and their little brother Bean (not their real names but very appropriate nicknames).
Pork is a doer. He is one to dive into a situation and figure itout as it unfolds, usually with great success. In terms of the puck pick, itwill be a gut feeling pick and be backed with some stats to explain the feeling.
Ribs, he likes to observe the situation, take in all theinformation, and then make an educated decision on what his next step will be.His puck pick will be focused around teams that are on hot streaks, eitheragainst a team in a matchup or on a winning streak.
Now Bean may sound cute and innocent, but he is a wild man. Not alot of thought goes into actions and if there is some thought, its gearedtowards “how can I push Dad’s buttons”. His puck pick will be a little more onthe risky side. There will be reasons why I think we should go this way.
As cook by trade and hockey as a passion since I was 3 years old,let’s get some puck picks in the oven and make some dough shall we?

Puck Recap: Thursday night (2-4)
Those were some tough losses to watch last night. Calgary was 0.1 seconds away from going home with two points only to lose in overtime. The Devils, up two to nothing, lose in overtime. Washington and Vancouver both in should win games, forgot to bring their A-game. The plus bet on the Rangers cashed and the add on puck line on Minnesota vs Detroit game was a hit as well. Let’s have a short memory and get back to winning! On to today’s puck action.
Pork’s Puck Pick- Philadelphia Flyers-167
The New York Rangers have been really good on the road and are putting together quite the run as of late. The Flyers, however, have been outstanding at home only dropping five decisions in regulation. The Rangers came off of an inspired effort in the third period last night against the Canadians with a four-goal effort in the frame. I expect them to come out swinging to try to get up early in this game however I don’t think they will have enough to pull off the win. It has been reported by The Goalie Project that Alex Georgiev is starting tonight as well. Philadelphia won the only matchup of the season between these teams buy a five to one score in Philadelphia. I expect to see much of the same tonight
Rib’s Puck Pick- Minnesota Wild -104
I think this line sits where it is because of Minnesota’s back to back situation, however, the shellacked the Redwings last night by a seven- one score. I believe they will be good to go for this contest. The Wild has four wins in their last five games whereas the Blue Jackets have just one in their last ten. The Wild have also won their last four games on the road. Kevin Fiala has been on a puck mashing goal scoring with sixteen points in his last twelve games. The Blue Jackets have too many injuries to too many key goalscorers to keep up with Minnesota in this matchup this evening.
Beans Puck Pick- Colorado Avalanche-103
The Carolina Hurricanes made a lot of great moves to solidify scoring depth and shore up their defensive issues due to injury. They did not, however, fix their issues in goal. The last game they left the puck stopping duties to Alex Nedeljkovic, who in his first start of the season let in four goals on just sixteen shots. This does this bode well when you are facing g the seventh-ranked team in shots per game and fifth in shooting percentage. Pavel Francouz and the Colorado Avalanche roll into Carolina riding a four-game win streak. In the Matchup between these clubs, the road team has won three of the last four dating back to 2018. I feel that this trend continues due to the goaltending mismatch and the roll the Avalanche are on.
There may be a few other matchups I may like, however it depends who the puck stopper is. Stay tuned to the #nhl and # sports betting tabs on Discord, as well as Twitter for any changes or more potential matchups as more news unfolds!
