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 of the puck picks I write about in these articles
Puck Record. The month of January #30dayhandicappingchalenge (38-39) article picks (10-13) (1-2 Sunday)
I don’t know about you but I think it is time for a winning sweep of picks. Here we go!
Pork’s Puck Pick- Minnesota -129
Full disclosure, I was not going to play this one. The more I looked into this puck battle, the more confused I became. Both teams are scoring goals with ease and have really settled down defensively. Goalie Bob has started to settle into the Panthers scheme and came back from injury strong against Detroit the other night. Both teams are on winning streaks (FLA 4 straight and MIN 2). So I decided to scrap this and take the money on Colorado vs Detroit. I thought “Only a 2 game slate, you get 2 wins you are back to .500 in the Cash with Flash handicapping challenge. Go Find Something!!”. So I did. Thanks to the Newsday sports page I see that Minnesota has won 10 of their last 11 home games. Not only that, Florida has struggled on the road this year going 5-5 in their last 10 road starts. (Losses to Carolina, Tampa Bay, Washington, Columbus, Buffalo). Another reason to believe in Minnesota is they have won 7 of their last 10 meetings against FLA. I expect this to be a close one, but after dismantling Dallas 7-0 in their last game, Minnesota rides that momentum to tame the Cats.
Rib’s Puck Pick– Colorado PUCK LINE -1.5(-120)
What a great classic matchup this is! All those fantastic games between the late 90’s early 2000. Yzerman vs. Sakic, Roy vs Vernon (great scrap in there too!), Lidstrom vs Foote! These days you have… McKinnon vs Larkin? Makar vs… um Hronek maybe? Oh but the puck stoppers! Grubauer vs Jimmy Howa… ya, you catch my drift! Take the puck money and run! As a side note, Dylan Larkin seems to matchup-proof and manages to get points almost every game. Might be something to look at for DFS or monkey knife fight!
Bean’s Puck Pick- Panthers at Minnesota OVER / UNDER; Take Over 6 (-120)
The most recent 7 battles between these two squads have seen at least 6 pucks light the lamp. With the way these two teams have been scoring lately I don’t see this game being much different. Both squads have had at least one day off and should be well-rested for this one.
I am very excited to join this team of highly skilled people at Win Daily. If you have any further questions, please feel free to find me on the Win Daily Discord chat (@Zak PRB) or on Twitter (@PRBpuckpicks) Thank you to you all for reading, let’s go make some bacon!
