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 (9-13)
Puck Recap Friday Night (0-2)
Detroit outlasted Chicago for a 2-1 win, Winnipeg took back their home ice with a 4-0 win Vegas. Not a good day but today we move on.
Pork’s Puck Pick-Minnesota Wild -130 (4 pm EST start)
The Minnesota Wild are on a six-game wins streak on the road. The LA Kings are playing better with all of their call ups who are fighting for a job, however, it’s not the same as fighting for a playoff spot. The Wild are on fire and are able to score from a bunch of different lines. If special teams come into play, Minnesota has a much better powerplay percentage ranked thirteenth in the league versus the twenty-seventh ranked penalty kill percentage, owned by LA. Take the Wild to take their road winning streak to seven.
Rib’s Puck Pick-Boston Bruins -156
Without Steven Stamkos, the Lightning is in trouble, especially against the league’s number one team in goals against in the Boston Bruins. In thirty-four home games this season, the Bruins have lost three in regulation. In the Bruins last five wins, they have only let in four goals. Their attention to detail has been fantastic as they look to settle in for a playoff run. Life without Stamkos has been ok so far for the Lightning winning their last game at home to Montreal, however, the game before they suffered a set back to the hands of these Bruins on their home ice. I think the Bruins keep this low scoring and drag out the win in what could be a preview of the Eastern Conference Final.
Bean’s Puck Pick- Philadelphia Flyers PUCK LINE -1.5-134
After hitting my “puck picks off” list, the Buffalo Sabres have been dreadful. Putting pucks in the net and or stopping pucks has been quite an issue for the Sabres. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Flyers have been rolling, especially at home. The Flyers have won eight straight with five of those wins coming at home. The Sabers have lost five straight games and in those losses, the last four straight have been more than the 1.5 puck line. Adding to Philadelphia’s motivation, if they win this game, and Washington loses in any form, they will take top spot in the Metropolitan Division. This is two teams going in completely different directions with the Flyers having everything to play for, and the Sabres trying to make it through their last fifteen games. Take the red hot Flyers on the puck 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.
