Some personalities include:
- Alex Monaco

The host will provide betting analysis and live reactions to all game action, including point spreads, team totals, player props, and parlay bets. Additionally, the hosts will offer in-game updates to odds and line movement as they happen in real-time.
On Dec. 5, Rangers beat reporter Michelle Gingras and former Rangers and New Jersey Devils center Scott Gomez will break down play on the ice from a betting perspective. Gomez is a two-time Stanley Cup Champion.
