When it comes to NHL playoff viewing, you might want Regional blackouts explained. During the regular season, games broadcast on local Regional Sports Networks (RSNs) are blacked out on out-of-market streaming platforms to protect local broadcasting rights. However, for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, these games are exclusive national broadcasts. This means local regional blackouts are lifted, allowing you to stream the ESPN or Sportsnet feed anywhere in North America without blackout restrictions getting in the way!
Top Playoff Scorers & Key Injuries for Game 4
Both teams have had a grueling path to Game 4. The Vegas Golden Knights boast an impressive 11-4 playoff record, while the Colorado Avalanche sit at 8-4. Vegas seized complete control of the series in Game 3 on Sunday, erasing a 3-0 first-period deficit to storm back and win 5-3.
For Vegas, the top 5 playoff scorers are:
- Mitch Marner – 21 points
- Jack Eichel – 18 points
- Pavel Dorofeyev – 14 points
- Ivan Barbashev – 12 points
- Brett Howden – 12 points
For Colorado, the offense has been carried by:
- Nathan MacKinnon – 15 points
- Martin Necas – 12 points
- Devon Toews – 11 points
- Gabriel Landeskog – 10 points
- Nazem Kadri – 8 points
Injuries will play a huge role heading into Game 4. The biggest storyline is Colorado’s superstar Nathan MacKinnon, who is listed as day-to-day with a lower-body injury. On the Vegas side, they just got captain Mark Stone back from injury in Game 3, giving them a massive morale boost.
Betting odds are Colorado -115 with the O/U set at 6.5. Personally, I think taking the Golden Knights on the moneyline as an underdog at home is incredibly valuable. I watched Vegas relentlessly smother Colorado in the final two periods of Game 3, and with Carter Hart standing on his head in the Vegas crease (11-0 record, 2.30 GAA this postseason), I don’t see Colorado surviving. I’m also betting the Under. The Avalanche are desperate, but with MacKinnon banged up, I foresee a tight, low-scoring 3-1 series-clinching victory for Vegas.
