Zak puckpicks 
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 with all of you!
A big part of my life is my 3 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 it out as it unfolds, usually with great success. In terms of the puck pick, it will 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 the information, 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, either against a team in a matchup or on a winning streak.
Now Bean may sound cute and innocent, but he is a wild man. Not a lot of thought goes into actions and if there is some thought, its geared towards “how can I push Dad’s buttons”. His puck pick will be a little more on the 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?
All odds are referenced from vegasinsider.com. I will play ALL picks mentioned in these articles.
Puck Record for February (14-9) last night (3-0).
A solid night! Back on the winning tracks.
Pork’s Puck Pick- Florida Panthers -113
Newsday sports.com shows that the home team has won the only 4 matchups between these two teams. This is where the Florida Panthers find themselves in this matchup. The Knights have struggled recently winning 3 of their last 7 on this grueling 8game road trip, which comes to an end tonight in Florida. Listed as questionable currently, I think Alexander Barkov will return for this one giving the offense a boost. Winners of 7 of their last 10 games, I believe the Panthers will defeat Vegas in a close one due to their 5th overall puck scoring with an average over 3.5 goals per game.
Rib’s Puck Pick- St.Loius Blues -175
The Blues at home are money, winning 20 of their 26 contests at Enterprise Centre. St. Louis has won 2 of the 3 matchups this season, including a 4-1 win at home back on December 29th as per Newsday Sports. Both puck stoppers have been playing well for the Blue Notes as Jake Allen seems to has returned to a solid “1b” option again. Winnipeg has struggled lately despite the play of Connor Hellebuyck, who has been solid between the pipes for them. Only winners of 2 of their last 10. This does include a victory over the Blues in Winnipeg, however it was the second night of a back to back for St. Louis. I believe that the Blues will continue their strong play and take a 3-1 series lead in their season series tonight.
Bean’s Puck Pick – Vancouver Canucks +108
Vancouver is currently 2-2 on this current road trip with a tough shootout loss to Carolina and getting beat by a strong Bruins team. The stats on Newsday sports show that the Canucks are the much stronger team, as does Vancouver being First place in a strong Pacific conference. Minnesota is a much better home team than they are on the road with 4 wins out of 6 on their current homestand. However, I think Vancouver’s 10th ranked offense and 13th ranked defense is enough to overcome Minnesota’s 15th ranked offense and 29th ranked goals against per game. The play of Quinn Hughes and Elias Pettersson has been exceptional lately and I see this continuing tonight! They will be solid plays in your FanDuel, DraftKings and Monkey Knife Fight builds tonight. They have been putting the puck in the net with consistency and regularity since the all-star break.
There are 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!
