### Guentzel tops Sunday NHL playoff prop picks

CBS Sports NHL • April 26, 2026 at 2:00 PM ET

[×](/uk/sports?tab=cbssports-nhl)

The Carolina Hurricanes clinched a first‑round sweep of the Ottawa Senators on Saturday, becoming the inaugural team into the second round of the 2026 Stanley Cup playoffs. Colorado, the Presidents’ Trophy winners, head to Crypto.com Arena Sunday seeking a sweep of the Los Angeles Kings after limiting the host to just four goals in three games. The Avs logged a league‑leading 298 goals in the regular season but have managed only eight through the first three playoff contests. Meanwhile, Buffalo, Tampa Bay, Boston, Montreal, Anaheim and Edmonton all have Game 4 match‑ups slated for Sunday.

SportsLine analyst Scott Erskine flags several prop bets for Sunday. Alex Tuch carries over‑0.5 assists odds after netting two game‑winners for Buffalo and tallying assists in three of his last five outings. **Nathan MacKinnon** is priced at +110 to score for Colorado despite being held scoreless so far. **Jake Guentzel** sits at +200 on FanDuel, having assisted on five of Tampa’s eight goals and looking to end his drought. Anaheim’s rookie Jackson LaCombe is listed at 1+ assists after a six‑game point streak.

Erskine also rates LaCombe’s assist chance at +106, while Tuch’s over‑0.5 assist line trades at +160. With the Lightning‑Canadiens series dead‑locked at 2‑2, Guentzel’s goal would give Tampa Bay the momentum to seize a series lead. Backing Guentzel therefore offers the most promising prop on Sunday’s slate.
