Tampa Bay Lightning vs Montreal Canadiens Picks and Predictions – April 26, 2026
Game 4 heads back to Bell Centre on Sunday night with Montreal holding a 2-1 series lead after another overtime finish. Puck drop is set for 7:00 PM ET on ESPN, and this series has already turned into exactly the kind of first-round battle bettors want to track closely. Tampa Bay finished the regular season 50-26-6 and took the No. 2 seed in the Atlantic, while Montreal closed 48-24-10 and grabbed the No. 3 seed. Through three games, that gap has barely mattered. What has mattered is how thin the margin has been. All three games have gone to overtime, Montreal stole Game 1 behind a power-play eruption, Tampa answered in Game 2, and the Canadiens pushed back in Game

Edmonton Oilers vs Anaheim Ducks Picks and Predictions – April 26, 2026
Game 4 shifts back to Honda Center with a real swing feel to it. Anaheim leads the series 2-1 after ripping off back-to-back home wins, including Friday’s 7-4 result, and now the Ducks have a chance to push Edmonton to the edge before the series goes back north. Puck drop is set for 9:30 PM ET on Sunday, April 26, with ESPN carrying the broadcast. Edmonton finished the regular season at 41-30-11 and Anaheim closed at 43-33-6, so this was never some massive gap on paper, even if the Oilers came in with the bigger playoff reputation. The bigger story so far has been game environment. Anaheim has turned this into a fast, messy, high-event series, and Edmonton has not

Buffalo Sabres vs Boston Bruins Picks and Predictions – Sunday, April 26, 2026
The Buffalo Sabres and Boston Bruins meet Sunday, April 26, 2026, at TD Garden for Game 4 of their first-round playoff series. Puck drop is set for 2:00 PM ET, with TNT carrying the broadcast. Buffalo leads the series 2-1 after taking Game 3 in Boston, so this is a real pressure spot for the Bruins. Buffalo has been the slightly sharper team through three games. The Sabres are 2-1 in the postseason, have scored 9 goals, and have allowed 8. They just won 3-1 behind a strong Alex Lyon start, with Bowen Byram, Noah Ostlund, and Alex Tuch all making key plays in a tight road win. Boston is 1-2 in the playoffs and now needs a response at

Colorado Avalanche vs Los Angeles Kings Picks and Predictions – April 26
Game 4 heads to Crypto.com Arena on Sunday, April 26, with puck drop set for 4:30 PM ET on TNT. Colorado leads this first-round series 3-0 and now gets its first chance to close it out, while Los Angeles is trying to avoid another early playoff exit after three straight losses to open the round. The Avalanche have controlled the series without needing wild, high-scoring games, and that matters because this market is still built around Colorado as the clear favorite with a total of 5.5. What stands out is how narrow the margins have felt even with Colorado up 3-0. Los Angeles has not been completely run over shift to shift, but the Kings have only scored four goals

Arizona Diamondbacks vs San Diego Padres Picks and Predictions April 26th 2026
Arizona outfielder Alek Thomas took the field with the Mexican flag as a cape in honor of his mother’s heritage and followed that entrance with a two-run homer against San Diego in the first game of the Mexico City Series on Saturday. It was not enough to keep the Padres from remaining undefeated in the Mexico City Series history. The Padres beat the Diamondbacks 6-4 Saturday in the first game of the 2026 edition after sweeping San Francisco in the first Mexico City Series in 2023. “We can probably call this place Petco South,” Padres manager Craig Stammen said in reference to the Padres’ Petco Park home. “I think that’s a good nickname for it.” San Diego’s Michael King (3-1,
