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 the picks mentioned in these articles.
Puck Record for February (23-19) last night (2-1).
If only the Montreal Canadiens could have held on another minute, they might have had a better fate in overtime. The Islanders kept the streak going with road wins against the Capitals and the Flames. Let’s just say Hope Floats… in the shark tank? A New Hope… from the bottom 3 lines? Ok, I’m done with my terrible movie/ Flames dad puns. Let’s get it!
Pork’s Puck Pick- Chicago Blackhawks+110
This picks all lies upon if Connor McDavid plays or not. He left practice on Monday because of an injury and is questionable to go tonight. Chicago has also won 3 of the last 5 meetings and the most recent two according to Newsday Sports. These two squads match up fairly evenly in the stats department but without the league’s leading scorer slapping the puck around, my faith lies with the Blackhawks in this game. Stay close to Win Daily Discord channel and twitter for McDavid updates.
Rib’s Puck Pick- St Louis Blues -136
Newsday Sports reports that both teams have won a game on St. Louis this season, both by a 4-1 score. Even though St. Louis has been on a bit of a slide since beating Anaheim, St Louis is still the deeper team. If the Blues can get 2 of their top 3 lines rolling in this game I am sure they will come out ahead and get the win. Leading Anaheim in every stat margin that Newsday Sports shows other than hits per game and blocked shots per game is another reason to have faith in the Blue Notes.
Bean’s Puck Pick – Pittsburgh Penguins -107
Tampa took only 31 seconds into overtime to pull out a win last night against Columbus in a 2-1 grind out a win. Tonight they travel to Pittsburgh to face a rested Penguins team. The Penguins also got news of a potential boost in offensive production when they traded away Alex Galchenyuk and defensive prospect Calen Addison to Minnesota in return for Jason Zucker. Now I don’t believe that Zucker will be in the lineup for this contest, however, acquiring an asset like this shows the GM has faith in his players and usually gives the team a boost. The Penguins haven’t faired well recently against Tampa Bay, however, I believe this is the perfect scenario for them to turn their fortunes around. The Penguins will win this one late in the game in a tight contest.
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!
