Top Promo Picks for Wednesday 4/29/26
Profit Boost 2
- MTL Canadiens Puck Line +1.5 (at TB)
- Jake Guentzel 1+ Point (vs MTL)
- Dylan Guenther 4+ Shots on Goal (at VGK)
- SGPx Odds: +380
Each of the first four games of the MTL-TB series has featured one-score outcomes, and the Canadiens have covered the Puck Line in each of their last 29 games as underdogs.
Guentzel has been on fire for Tampa Bay, recording seven points across the first four games of the series. He has notched at least one point in 15 of his 20 home outings and in five of his past six home outings against the Canadiens.
This postseason, Guenther ranks second among all skaters in shot attempts (44) and sixth in shots on goal (20). The volume is there, and Guenther has cleared this line in all four games of the series thus far.
Profit Boost 3
- Brandon Hagel Anytime Goalscorer (vs MTL)
- Ivan Barbashev Anytime Goalscorer (vs UTA)
- Parlay Odds: +867
Hagel leads all skaters this postseason in goals (5), scoring in each of the first four games of the series. He’ll have opportunities to score at even strength and on the power play, and Montreal simply hasn’t figured out a way to slow him down yet.
Barbashev is one of four Golden Knights to score multiple goals this series, and he scored in Games 1 and 2 at home. He has logged first-line minutes alongside Jack Eichel and Brett Howden, and he will see power play opportunities with the first unit, as well. Barbashev doesn’t shoot the puck often, but he is surrounded by elite playmakers who will give him high-quality chances.
