New York Islanders at Buffalo Sabres

The New York Islanders' slump is officially over, and so were the Buffalo Sabres (+250) hopes to reach the Stanley Cup playoffs as of months ago. The guys have a quick take on this match-up. Hear the conversation on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

Pittsburgh Penguins at Philadelphia Flyers

Philly's postseason chances are Three Stooges-esque, a.k.a. Nil, Null, and Void at 15 points behind Boston in the East Division. Still, sportsbooks aren't ready to give up on the Flyers (+140) on the daily just yet, at least not with the Pittsburgh Penguins busy greasing playoff wheels and unruffled by dull periods. Listen to this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast for all of Brian and Cam's betting strategies, predictions, and free picks.

Chicago Blackhawks at Carolina Hurricanes

The Chicago Blackhawks might be the more desperate club, but the Central Division-leading Carolina Hurricanes have the superior lineup and a (+100) puck line for a Monday faceoff with a (6) goal total. Hear the guys discuss their thoughts on this NHL game on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

Washington Capitals at New York Rangers 

An NHL game characterized by a falling (6) O/U goal total pairs a talented Washington Capitals lineup against the hosting New York Rangers, who must win on Monday or give up the ghost. Hear the details on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

Nashville Predators at Columbus Blue Jackets

Can a team be disrespected despite a thin money line? Nashville Predators are solid road favourites at (-175) in Columbus, yet Roman Josi's long-term production from the blue line isn't doing much to inspire short-term betting as the O/U total shrinks to a tiny (5) goals. Hear the guys discuss their betting angles on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

Boston Bruins at New Jersey Devils

Home ice isn't expected to help New Jersey against the red-hot Boston Bruins (-230), who could mathematically eliminate the New York Rangers in the East Division before meeting the Broadway Blueshirts again on May 6th. Listen to this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast for Brian and Cam's conversation on this NHL match-up.

Winnipeg Jets at Ottawa Senators

Reports that the Ottawa Senators intend to play spoiler in their final five games are helping the Sens to noble (+135) odds to beat the visiting Winnipeg Jets on Monday night, while making NHL gamblers shy of an initial (6.5) total. Hear the guys hash out their picks on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

Montreal Canadiens at Toronto Maple Leafs

The Toronto Maple Leafs are proving a popular ML pick at (-145) odds and shrinking vs Montreal. Will the professional pundits of The Hockey Betting Podcast go with the public or give the Canadiens' plus-odds a look? Hear the guys debate their positions on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

Dallas Stars at Florida Panthers

The Florida Panthers (-145) have outplayed the Dallas Stars in a handful of multi-date meetings, but Monday evening's contest is a one-off to bring the 2020-21 regular season series to an end. Hear the guys discuss how they plan to play this NHL match-up on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

Anaheim Ducks at St. Louis Blues

With the St. Louis Blues a heavy (-260) favourite, Tthe guys look at three different angles to swing at - a parlay, a puck line, or the goal total of (5.5), the latter of which stands as cautious considering STL's attack vs Minnesota. Hear the discussion on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

Vegas Golden Knights at Minnesota Wild

A clash of titans in St. Paul carries an O/U line of (5.5), but only out of respect for the goaltending on each roster. Besides, no one's been able to move a money line that's solidly juiced for the Vegas Golden Knights at (-125). Listen to this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast for the details.

Los Angeles Kings at Arizona Coyotes

Arizona may have just played its way into the playoff hunt. It's just not inspiring NHL bettors to pick the Coyotes (-140) due to apprehension that the Vegas series is a mirage. Hear the guys debate this NHL match-up on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

Colorado Avalanche at San Jose Sharks

The O/U total fell to (6) goals even for this David vs Goliath style NHL faceoff on Monday night. It's not because fans don't think the Avs will score. The Colorado Avalanche line-to-win is shrinking like marshmallows out of the microwave at high-risk (-260) odds. Listen to this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast for all of Brian and Cam's betting angles, NHL picks, and a few laughs along the way.

Edmonton Oilers at Vancouver Canucks

Handicappers originally floated a modest ML for the Edmonton Oilers in Vancouver. Sportsbooks' early verdict is in, and it's official - Las Vegas loves the Oilers (-200) to win and doesn't expect spring scenery to get in the way. Hear the guys debate the betting angles on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

Tuesday, May 4, 2021 NHL Betting Lines, Analysis, Picks

Boston Bruins at New Jersey Devils

Oddsmakers are less assured about a quick-draw rematch between the Boston Bruins (-215) and New Jersey Devils, with Tuesday's goal total set at a cautious (5.5). Hear the details on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

Carolina Hurricanes at Chicago Blackhawks

Pittsburgh Penguins at Philadelphia Flyers

The high-powered Penguins open as merely a (-155) road favourite on Tuesday even though the Philadelphia Flyers are officially knocked-out of the race. Hear the guys discuss this NHL match-up on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

New York Islanders at Buffalo Sabres

Can the New York Islanders continue to produce goals after an exhausting stretch? Maybe, given the team's relief at reviving an offence colder than a corpse. Buffalo (+225) has lost another four games in a row and is not getting the miraculous goaltending that enabled epic upsets in midseason, ensuring that the Isles get a high-risk market for a game with a (5.5) O/U total. Hear the guys hash out their picks on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.

Edmonton Oilers at Vancouver Canucks

The Vancouver Canucks - and possibly the Calgary Flames - are faced with the saddest task of any NHL club in recent times, playing out a string of meaningless "pre-postseason" hockey games while other skaters prepare for a Stanley Cup push or head to Latvia for the 2021 Worlds. For now, though, bookies aren't sure the tragedy of a "ghost ship" spring schedule has set in on the Canucks, and Tuesday night's host-underdog stands an optimistic (-161) on the puck line (+1.5) against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers. Will the NHL allow the losers' bracket of Covid make-up games to play out? Hear the guys discuss the issues on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.
