Capitals vs. Canadiens Player Props: Game 4 Odds & NHL Expert Picks for Sunday, April 27
The visiting Washington Capitals won't want to get into another game of pond hockey against the Montreal Canadiens tonight at Bell Centre (6:30 p.m. ET, TBS) as we offer our Capitals vs. Canadiens player props and NHL picks.
Game 3 in Montreal, which the Canadiens won 6-3 thanks to three third-period goals, had the same number of goals (9) as Games 2 and 3 in Washington.
The Capitals are the slight moneyline favorites at our best NHL betting sites entering Game 4, and our player props feature Dylan Strome, Mike Matheson, and Game 3 top performer, Cole Caufield.
🏒 Best Capitals vs. Canadiens player prop bets: Game 4

✅ Cole Caufield Over 3.5 shots (+140 via bet365) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
✅ Mike Matheson Over 1.5 shots (-115 via DraftKings) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

🚨 Dylan Strome Over 0.5 assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you've been tailing my Capitals player props, you'll understand why I consistently return to Strome's assists Overs. As reliable as a brand-spanking new car, Strome finds a way to notch at least one helper more often than Montreal Canadiens fans bellow "Olé, Olé, Olé."
Strome has four assists in three games thus far, with Game 2 being the only contest in which he hasn't posted one. He assisted in the Game 3 loss, and I expect him to be influential in this pivotal road contest. Strome assisted on all three Alex Ovechkin goals in the series, representing one of the world's best wingmen.
And if the Great 8 scores again, don't be surprised to see the Caps' regular-season assist leader as the primary setup man. As has become customary in recent games, bet365 offers the best price of our best sports betting apps, where a winning $10 bet would profit $11.
💰 Best odds: +110 via bet365
Terms and conditions apply.
🚨 Cole Caufield Over 3.5 shots ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Caufield had more shots in Game 3 than a teenager on their 18th birthday (21st if you reside south of the border). The Habs' Game 3 top performer fired an astounding 11 shots on goal, the most he had all season. Caufield had five shots in Game 1 and three in Game 2 despite letting loose for 12 attempts.
Our best sportsbooks increased his total from 2.5 to 3.5 after his unprecedented Game 3 outing. Caufield was as explosive as the sold-out Bell Centre when he scored the go-ahead goal late in the second period. There is almost no chance he will accumulate a double-digit shot total again, but I'll be satisfied with half that many.
💰 Best odds: +140 via bet365
🚨 Mike Matheson Over 1.5 shots ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I backed Matheson to fire at least two shots in Game 3, and he dually obliged, finishing with three and seven attempts. He hit the Over in the last two games and had four attempts in Game 1, the lone Under. The Habs bombarded the Caps' goal in Game 3 like kids enveloping an ice cream truck, testing Washington's goaltenders 40 times.
The Caps will be way more prepared in Game 4, so don't expect that same lofty total. However, they'll still be firing on sight, and Matheson will be all-in on that game plan.
If the Habs are down late, expect Matheson to pinch in regularly and find a way to reach the low total. Sweetening the deal, Matheson has hit the Over in eight of his previous contests against the Capitals. A winning $10 bet will profit $8.70 at DraftKings, and the odds imply a 53.49% probability.
