EPISODE RECAP: Brian Blessing of The Hockey Betting Podcast is renown for his NHL totals picks, but Cam Stewart and his compadre scored on a bonanza of late-week sides while just missing on a handful of O/U lines. Buffalo played in a low-scoring contest with the New York Rangers on Thursday despite goaltender Linus Ullmark sitting out for the Sabres, but a 3-2 Rangers win gave Buffalo's puck line gamblers a payoff. The "serious" Florida Panthers concentrated hard enough to beat Detroit 3-2, and the Pittsburgh Penguins fulfilled Cam's prediction with an easy 4-1 win over Boston, but not without disappointing over-picks at the same time. Colorado Avalanche and the St. Louis Blues frustrated the forecast with a 5-goal result, but the New Jersey Devils, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Edmonton Oilers were as strong as Cam and Brian expected on Friday, winning recommended bets on a bargain NHL puck line and two money line markets respectively.
