This is one of the better games on the NHL board Monday night, maybe the best one if you are betting division races and playoff seeding. Tampa Bay comes into Buffalo at 48-22-6, while the Sabres are 46-23-8. Puck drop is set for 7:00 PM ET at KeyBank Center, and NHL Network has the broadcast. Both teams have already locked up playoff spots, but this game still matters because Tampa Bay leads the Atlantic by two points and has a game in hand. The recent form leans Tampa Bay. The Lightning just closed a seven-game homestand with a 5-1-1 run, including wins over Pittsburgh and Boston, while Buffalo is only 2-3-2 over its last seven and just got tagged 6-2

Seattle heads into Canada Life Centre on Monday night in a game that still has some playoff weight, even if the margin for error is basically gone. The Kraken are 32-32-11 after a 4-2 loss to Chicago on Saturday, while Winnipeg is 33-31-12 and coming off a 2-1 win over Columbus. Puck drop is set for 7:30 PM on Monday, April 6, 2026, with ESPN+ carrying the broadcast. What stands out right away is the recent form.

San Jose is 36-32-7, still pushing for a Western Conference wild-card spot, and coming off a frustrating 6-3 home loss to Nashville that ended a four-game winning streak. Puck drop is set for 10:00 PM ET on April 6 in San Jose. That is the angle that matters most for bettors. The Sharks are playing with urgency, and they are back at home for the fifth game of a six-game

Nashville heads into Crypto.com Arena for a late Western Conference game that feels a little bigger than a normal Monday in April. The Predators are 36-31-9 after a 6-3 win over San Jose, while the Kings are 31-26-19 after that wild 7-6 overtime win over Toronto. Puck drop is set for 10:30 PM ET on Monday, April 6, 2026, with ESPN+ carrying the broadcast. This matchup matters because both clubs are still trying to hold position in a crowded playoff race, and there is recent history here too.
