Sabres vs. Bruins Prediction & Odds: Game 4 NHL Picks Today (April 26)
The Buffalo Sabres and Boston Bruins meet today at TD Garden for Game 4 (2 p.m. ET, TNT), and I'm backing the home team in my Sabres vs. Bruins prediction.
The Sabres are the marginal betting favorite (-112) at DraftKings, while the other best sports betting sites have it as a pick'em. I'm expecting another defensive masterclass from both teams, with David Pastrnak finding a way to secure a crucial helper.

🏆 Who will win Sabres vs. Bruins?
The Bruins had the second-best home record in the league (29-11-1) during the regular season and beat Buffalo at TD Garden both times.
They didn't show their best stuff in Game 3, but had enough chances to win. Swayman got unlucky on the Sabres equalizer but was solid otherwise. Another strong performance from him between the pipes should result in Boston squaring the series heading back to Buffalo.
Score prediction: Bruins 3, Sabres 2
💰 Sabres vs. Bruins prediction & best bet
Under 6 (-115)
The Bruins are 7-2-1 to the Under (6) in their last 10 games, and Jeremy Swayman provides a chance for his team to win every night. One of the two goals he allowed in Game 3 took a deflection off his own defenseman, James Hagens, the only reason he was beaten on Bowen Byram's equalizer.
I'm confident in a defensive slugfest similar to Game 3. Both teams are in the bottom three for expected goals, and the Sabres have the fewest high-danger shots.
🔥 Best Sabres vs. Bruins player prop bet
David Pastrnak Over 0.5 assists (-135)
Pastrnak had four helpers in the opening two games in Buffalo before being held off the scoresheet in Game 3. He has enjoyed playing Buffalo lately, scoring eight points in the previous four meetings.
That impressive run included three multi-point games. Despite scoring 40 goals in the regular season, the Bruins' offensive leader was a pass-first player, more so than in any other season. He draws a ton of attention and disguises his passes well, often leaving teammates open.
🚀 Sabres vs. Bruins same-game parlay
Tage Thompson has 16 shots through three contests, and I like the chances of him firing another four on Swayman. I'm confident the Bruins will level the series, and Pastrnak has been their most threatening offensive player throughout.

💡 How I'm betting Sabres vs. Bruins
Follow all of our NHL analysis and expert predictions this season.
It was 2-0 midway through the third period in Game 1 and an inexplicable goal from the neutral zone in Game 2 derailed the Sabres, allowing for the floodgates to open for Boston.
Game 3 was a defensive masterclass from both teams. Those reasons are more than enough to back the Under in Game 4. I like the Bruins at home, along with Pastrnak hitting the scoresheet. While there's a good chance he'll score a goal, I'm hoping for a helper, if not both.
I'm confident enough to invest a unit ($10) in each pick.
