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.

Pork’s Puck Pick- Buffalo Sabers -200
The Senators are coming off a shootout loss to the lowly New Jersey Devils last night. Now they are going up against a slightly better Buffalo Sabers team in Buffalo, which means they also would have had to travel in this period as well. With the better of the two puck stoppers playing last night for Ottawa, I don’t see this game staying close for very long. I would jump on this line as soon as possible, as I feel it might fall quite a bit below -200.
Rib’s Puck Pick- Calgary Flames -105
The Flames are red hot at home winning their last 4 at the Dome. St. Louis has lost their last 5 on the road and are coming off a game last night against Vancouver, which they lost 3-1. All of that information I said about puck stopper Binnington, rings true for this game as Jake Allen started last night. David Rittich looked like he returned to “Big Save Dave” in the all-star game, hopefully bringing back his confidence. Like the Vancouver game last night, I see this game being close but the Flames taking advantage of this tired Blues squad and pulling out the “W”
Bean’s Puck Pick – Puck Line Buffalo -1.5 (+125)
Puck stopper (I use that term lightly here) Craig Anderson is sporting a 6-12-0-1 record and a 3.32 GAA according to Newsday sports. The Senators have a 5-15-2-2 road record this year. As mentioned above lost to the atrocious Devils in a shootout last night. Personally I’m doing a little hedge here making sure that my Buffalo money line pick will cover this bet if for some unknown reason the Senators cover. In the last 5 starts that Anderson has, 4 of those games have been losses by 2 or more.
There are a few other matchups I 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!
