The Montreal Canadiens are looking to even up the series on home ice as they host the Washington Capitals in Game 4 on Sunday night.

My Capitals vs. Canadiens predictions are targeting Cole Caufield to keep firing the puck in our best NHL picks for April 27.

Who will win Capitals vs Canadiens Game 4?

The Canadiens flipped the switch in Game 3 with a 40-21 shots advantage in their 6-3 win over the Capitals. The Habs had two-thirds of the expected goals share at 5-on-5 (2.75-1.41) in the victory, including 29 scoring chances to Washington's 19.

Montreal is now 24-12-6 at the Bell Centre this season, and I'll take them again at home.

My Capitals vs Canadiens pick: Cole Caufield Over 3.5 shots (+130 at Sports Interaction)

Cole Caufield erupted for 11 shots on goal in Game 3 at home, finishing with both a goal and an assist. The Montreal Canadiens winger totalled five SOG in Game 1 and three in Game 2, but a look at his total shot attempts shows that he’s been firing at will.

The Habs star had eight shot attempts in Game 1 before firing off 12 shot attempts in both Games 2 and 3. That's a total of 32 shot attempts and 19 SOG through three games in this series.

Caufield now has 4+ SOG in seven of nine games against the Washington Capitals, including four of the last five meetings. Back him to stay hot ahead of a pivotal Game 4 in the La Belle Province.
