Hockey influencer asked women which Team USA star they’d kiss: Here’s who got the most smooches

They’re shooting their shot.

A hockey influencer polled women during an Olympics watch party, asking them to decide which Team USA hockey player they’d kiss “to wish them luck for their upcoming games.”

Nikki Anderson printed out huge photos of the heads of three she thought were cute — brothers Jack and Quinn Hughes and Noah Hanifin — and set them up at Helmsman Ale House in Newport Beach, Calif.

She then asked female patrons to plant a cutout of a kiss on their favorite — and one scored the most smooches by far.

“Jack walked away with the most,” Anderson told The Post Friday, after Team USA defeated Slovakia to give the Americans a chance at Olympic gold.

“It was a landside for sure. We even had guys who were like, ‘Oh yeah, Jack’s my man. I’ll put a kiss on him.’”

The New Jersey Devils center has been spotted with Canadian pop star Tate McRae — but since neither has announced they are dating, he is technically still on the market.

“There’s photos of them, like hanging out together, walking around, having coffee and stuff. But neither of their teams has come out to say that they’re officially dating. So technically he’s single,” she said.

Anderson, who captioned her video of the kiss contest “RED WHITE & HUGHES,” got 380,000 views on Instagram, and said women definitely have their favorite brother.

“While a lot of people are saying, Jack, you’ve got those people that are total Quinn fans. It’s just really funny to see,” she said.

“Very few people have been like, ‘No, they’re both amazing.’ Everybody has a clear side, which I think is really interesting.”

A fan of the Anaheim Ducks, Anderson decided to start posting about hockey last year after realizing the absence of women on social media who were promoting the sport.

“This last season I kicked off my very first Ducks game … and realized there is nobody on social media that’s a girl that’s talking about hockey,” she said.

“And I was just like, ‘You know what? I’m gonna video this, I’m going to start posting about it, and I’m going to get people involved. We’re gonna have fun with this.’ And it just sort of took off.”
