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?

Puck Record March (12-16)
Puck Recap Sunday Night (2-1)
Another Loss for the Penguins at home to a team that is struggling with putting pucks in and keeping pucks out of their net. Not sure which Penguins team is going to show up night in and night out. They might have joined the list. Detroit kept it so close with Tampa Bay, they took it to overtime and won, cashing in the +1.5 bet. St.Louis fired two past the Blackhawks and Jake Allen puck stopped his way to a shut out giving puck picks a winning day! Let’s keep that going! On to today’s puck action.
Pork’s Puck Pick- Washington Capitals -167
The Washington Capitals are coming off of a five to two road victory against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday night. Pittsburgh, on paper, is a better team however both the Penguins and Sabres have been struggling to enter the win column. Washington has won five of the last six meetings between these two teams. I was contemplating -1.5 however Buffalo’s number one puck stopper Linus Ullmark has been taken off of the injury list and was playing really well before missing time with the injury. Either way, Washington should carry out the victory with all.of their offensive firepower. Stay tuned to Discord and Twitter to see if we get aggressive here.
Rib’s Puck Pick- Winnipeg Jets -127
Winnipeg is on a roll at home, winning five in a row inside the “Whiteout” at Bell MTS Place. Meanwhile, the Arizona Coyotes have lost four of the last five games on the road. One of the hottest forwards for the Coyotes in Connor Garland has hit the injured list as of March eighth and there isn’t a time table for a return. Puck stopper Connor Hellebuyck for the Jets has returned to Vezina form, especially at home. He has only allowed six goals in his last five starts in Winnipeg who are playing an Arizona team that struggles to score goals consistently. Arizona has only scored ten goals in their last five games on the road. The top line for Winnipeg has been carrying the goal-scoring load as of late and I believe will continue to do so, leading the Jets to fly past the Coyotes tonight.
Bean’s Puck Pick- Edmonton Oilers -129
Coming off of a back to back is never easy, especially when it is against the third and first place teams in your division. Vegas beat the Flames last night to recapture first place over Edmonton, however, the Oilers now have a game in hand. Vegas goalie Marc-Andre Fleury has had trouble finding the puck in his last two starts since shutting out the Oilers February Twenty-sixth. In the two starts since he has allowed eight goals, which is not good for the Golden Knights going up against the number one powerplay. Edmonton’s shut out loss came on the second night of a back to back, similar to what Vegas is going through tonight and I am sure Edmonton would love to return the favor. Look for the eleventh ranked Oilers scoring offense to continue Marc-Andre Fleury’s woes and come away with the victory in this one.
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.
