Tech Hockey Guide’s series preview writer, Jonathan Zamaites, is on a prediction roll. He’s as hot as an over-stoked wood stove and on an incredible streak after a mediocre start. Let’s take a quick look at what JZ has done this season with his game predictions.

Overall, JZ now has predicted six in a row, and five of those have been perfect calls—right score, correct night of the series. And, if you look at the one that wasn’t perfect, he was half-right, as LSSU got only the single goal he predicted.
