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 talking Puck Picks with all of you!
A big part of my life is my three 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 itout as it unfolds, usually with great success. In terms of the puck pick, itwill 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 theinformation, 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, eitheragainst a team in a matchup or on a winning streak.
Now Bean may sound cute and innocent, but he is a wild man. Not alot of thought goes into actions and if there is some thought, its gearedtowards “how can I push Dad’s buttons”. His puck pick will be a little more onthe 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. The source of information comes from Newsday.sports.gracenote.com unless otherwise specified. I will play ALL the picks mentioned in these articles.
Puck Record March (13-18)
Puck Recap Sunday Night (1-2)
Two extra period games gave us a losing record on the night with Vegas beating Edmonton in overtime and Washington losing to Buffalo in a shootout. One-shot away in both for having a perfect day. Winnipeg got their job done at home against Arizona for the lone won on the day..let’s. drop the puck on today’s action
Pork’s Puck Pick- Vancouver Canucks-120
When puck stopper Jacob Markström went down with a knee injury I was worried this team would plummet down the standings. Thatcher Demko has played quite well in the net despite his one and four records in his last five starts. Another bright news for the Canucks is that there are rumblings around the hockey community that injured winger Brock Boeser might return for this contest providing some much-needed scoring. Vancouver’s opponent tonight has lost their last six games in a row and have not looked good while doing it. Since acquiring Jean-Gabriel Pageau for additional scoring, the New York Islanders have not scored more than 3 goals in a game and have averaged four goals against on their six-game slide. Both teams need the win to stay relevant in the playoff race, so motivation is a non-factor. Sportsnet 650 on twitter reports that head coach Travis Green states that he is unsure if Brock Boeser will be an option for tonight. However, that is still a boost to the locker room and Vancouver will show well in front of their home fans tonight. Take the Canucks on the money line
Rib’s Puck Pick- Tampa Bay Lightning-124
The Leafs looked terrible on their west coast road trip last week losing to Anaheim two to one and LA one to nothing. Tampa Bay is coming off a huge win against Boston on the road in Boston and had a let down the next night in Detroit. I think they got the bad game out of their system and will be ready for the falling Leafs tonight. Tampa Bay has won six of the last eight meetings between these clubs and has no problem putting the puck in the net lately With fourteen goals in their last three games since losing Captain Steven Stamkos, I think the Lightning have the depth to take on the flailing Maple Leafs tonight. Put the Tampa Bay money line down and enjoy that maple syrup on some pancakes.
Bean’s Puck Pick- New Jersey Devils+125
The Pittsburgh Penguins are coming off of two ugly losses, a five to two defeat to the Washington Capitals and the next night a six-two defeat to the defensive challenged Carolina Hurricanes. This team can’t seem to find their game or ability to stop the puck. After a lot of inconsistency last season, McKenzie Blackwood has been a revelation for the Devils this season has been one of the nose consistent pieces for them when healthy. He has won seven of his last ten starts, including rattling off five in a row at home which is where New Jersey finds themselves tonight. Overall this Devils team is six-two-two in their last ten games. The Devils have won seven of their last ten meetings against Pittsburgh. The strangest part of this game is tine seems to have moved further in favor of the Penguins overnight. Take the Devils on the plus money line!
Houston’s Puck Pick- Nashville Predators -136. The Nashville Predators have owned this matchup against the Canadians winning their last four in a row. Puck Stopper Jussi Saros has taken control of the net for the Predators and has been fantastic posting back to back shutouts. Montreal has been a pesky but inconsistent team with putting the puck in the net. With only two wins in their last six games, the Canadians do not look on a good spot to make the postseason. Look for the Predators to continue their recent win streak take them on the money line.
There may be 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!

Before the first puck of the season dropped for the 2019-2020 NHL season we offered Over/Under Point Totals for each team. The Islanders and Blue Jackets are on their way to hitting the over while the Devils and Red Wings are running out of gas to get them over the finish line.
