The 2021 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs are in full swing! With just the one game on the agenda today we have had plenty of time to research the fixture in depth and bring you the absolute best predictions. Have a read below for all our NHL picks.

Vegas Golden Knights @ Montreal Canadiens (Semi Final – Game 4) – 8.00 PM EDT

The Golden Knights and the Canadiens take it to game 4 in Montreal following a second straight win for the Habs on Friday, both of which were won by 3-2.

The pressure is now building against the Knights as they continue to struggle to convert past the stingy Canadiens defense.

Despite taking a whopping 45 shots to just 27 in return, the Knights were only able to get the better of Carey Price on two occasions. Nicolas Roy got them off to a good start with an unassisted effort early in the second period, however, less than a minute later Cole Caulfield cancelled it out.

The next term also looked quite similar to the first, as Alex Pietrangelo pulled the Knights ahead not long after the reset, but it would be 15 minutes until the Habs pulled the score back to even, with Josh Anderson converting a huge call to send the match to overtime.

Quite fittingly, Josh Anderson, who was already a hero for giving the Habs another chance, once again stepped up in the overtime, breaking the deadlock with a goal in the 12th minute, this time set up by Paul Byron and Jesperi Kotkaniemi.

Anderson’s heroics at one end would not have been possible without Carey Price’s at the other, with the shot stopper allowing just 2 goals from 45 attempts for one of his best showings of the postseason.

With a 2-1 series lead in hand the Habs will be feeling the pressure building, as will the Knights who do not want to be returning to Vegas to fight for the series.
