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 (10-5) last night (1-2).
Javi’s cats won again… for real I’m done betting against them!! Dallas and New York went on a scoring spree, much to my surprise, and the Flyers put 3 past Bernier and came out with a 3-0 victory. Glad we got the + bet!
Pork’s Puck Pick- Colorado -136
This game to me boils down to Colorado’s first overall goals per game vs Buffalo’s 19th overall in goals against per game, according to Newsday sports. Carter Hutton snuck out 1 win in his last 10 starts and only has 3 games with a puck stopping percentage over .900.
Rib’s Puck Pick- Winnipeg -113
In the Matchup between the Jets and the Predators, the Jets have taken wins in 4 of the last 5 meetings. Coming off of a dominant 5-2 performance against the Stanley Cup winners, St.Louis Blues and with Hellebuyck seemingly returning to form, I like the chances of Winnipeg pulling out a win here. Nashville has been struggling to keep pucks out of their net allowing 21 goals over their last 5 games. I like Winnipeg get the home win here. With Colorado averaging 33.14 shots per game, you would like a higher save percentage against the likes of McKinnon, Rantanen and the crew. With seemingly only Jack Eichel and Evan Rodrigues providing offense, that won’t be enough to take down the defensively strong and full of firepower Avalanche.
Bean’s Puck Pick – Edmonton + 102
After coming off one of the most exciting games I have had the pleasure of watching against the Calgary Flames on Saturday, McDavid and the boys are rolling. Coming off two impressive wins against the aforementioned Flames and the Stanley Cup Champions St. Louis Blues, it appears the Oilers are Clicking on all cylinders. Arizona has been struggling to lose their last 3 games coming out of the all-star break. Their number 1 goalie in Antti Raanta has clearly turned into a number 2, and with Darcy Kuemper on the shelf for a little while longer, things don’t look so good in the desert.
Zak’s puck Pick- Chicago +123
Winners of 4 of the last five meetings between these two clubs, the Chicago Blackhawks have been playing some solid hockey. Both puck stoppers in Corey Crawford and Robin Lehner have been great. The likes of Patrick Kane and Johnathan Toews are again on hot streaks and has this team looking at the playoffs. Currently only 3 points out of a wild card with 2 games in hand on Arizona, these Hawks have the motivation to win. Minnesota has been inconsistent and has been struggling between the pipes. Sitting 4 points back of Chicago, having played as many games, there is still hope for the playoffs but they really need to regain some level of stability. I think the likes of Kane, Toews, and Kubalik keep their hot sticks firing and are able to put more pucks past Minnesota to collect the win.
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!
