Logan Thompson vs. Jakub Dobes
The stakes are sky-high as the Capitals (51-22-9) square off against the Canadiens (40-31-11) in a pivotal Game 4, with Washington clinging to a 2-1 series lead!
Tonight’s goalie matchup could get wild. Logan Thompson is battling through a lower-body injury but hit the ice for morning skate, looking ready to roll. He’s posted solid playoff numbers so far, but questions linger about his health. On the other side, Jakub Dobes might get the nod again after stepping in mid-game Friday and helping Montreal snag a clutch 6-3 win.
With Montembeault’s status still murky, the Habs are leaning on youth and guts. Expect the crowd in Montreal to be electric.

After trailing 1-0, Washington scored twice in the first period to take the lead. However, the Hurricanes responded with three unanswered goals, including an empty-netter, to secure the win.

After the first period, the Capitals were held scoreless, finishing with 21 shots on goal. Nic Dowd picked up his 2nd assist of the season, and Dylan Strome added his 13th assist on Ovechkin’s power-play goal.
Defensively, the Capitals will look to bounce back after giving up four goals to Carolina, including three unanswered after leading 2-1 at the end of the first period. Charlie Lindgren made 41 saves with a 93.2% save percentage, but the Hurricanes added an empty-netter late in the third. Washington’s defense also recorded 20 hits and 2 takeaways.

Montreal’s 3-1 loss to the Penguins dropped their record to 40-31-11. The Canadiens were underdogs on the puck line, and the total for the game was set at 6.5 goals, but the combined score of 4 fell short of that mark.
All of the scoring came after the 4:03 mark in the first period. Montreal didn’t get on the board until the third period, when Christian Dvorak scored at 14:28 to cut the deficit to 2-1. The Penguins sealed the game with an empty-net goal at 19:15 in the third.
Montreal Canadiens Stats
Montreal’s offense struggled in their 3-1 loss to Pittsburgh, managing just one goal. Christian Dvorak found the net for the first time this season, with Emil Heineman earning his first assist and Juraj Slafkovsky picking up his seventh.
The Canadiens took 26 shots on goal but were hampered by 20 giveaways. They were held scoreless through the first two periods before Dvorak’s goal at the 14:28 mark in the third.
Montreal’s defense gave up the first two goals of the game, both from Sidney Crosby. The first came at 15:57 in the first period, and the second at 18:40 in the second.

4* Free NHL Hockey Betting Prediction: Canadiens +1.5
When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Canadiens to defeat the Capitals while playing at home. Given the current moneyline odds at -102, I’m placing a nice sizeable bet on the Canadiens to win this won going away, 5-3.
Our projections have the Canadiens pulling out a win as the underdog. But if you’re not as bullish as we are on the Canadiens, we’d recommend at least getting a bet down on them to cover the puck line.
With an over/under line sitting at 6 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over. Expect goals tonight.
