As the Stanley Cup Playoffs gather pace, Sunday’s NHL fixtures on 27/04/25 promise edge-of-your-seat action across the board. Four critical matchups are set to shape the postseason narrative, with each team fighting for momentum, survival, or dominance.
First up, the Winnipeg Jets travel to face the St. Louis Blues. Winnipeg, fresh off a Presidents’ Trophy-winning regular season, suddenly find themselves vulnerable after a heavy 7-2 defeat at the hands of the resurgent Blues. Cam Fowler’s historic five-point night sparked life into St. Louis, cutting the Jets’ series lead to 2-1. Can Winnipeg respond, or will the Blues continue to serenade their home fans with another triumph?
In the Eastern Conference, the Carolina Hurricanes visit the New Jersey Devils. Carolina entered the series as clear favourites but were stunned when Simon Nemec’s double-overtime heroics breathed life into the Devils’ playoff hopes. With defensive injuries piling up, New Jersey showed immense character to claw their way back into the series, while Carolina must now find a way to steady their ship.
Later in the evening, the Washington Capitals take on the Montreal Canadiens. Washington, the top seeds in the East, suffered a setback after a resilient Montreal side rallied to a 6-3 victory in Game 3. Injuries to both goaltenders—Logan Thompson for the Capitals and Sam Montembeault for the Canadiens—add an extra layer of uncertainty heading into Sunday’s clash.
Finally, the night caps off with a Western Conference showdown as the Los Angeles Kings battle the Edmonton Oilers. Despite leading their series, the Kings’ hopes of a sweep were dashed after Edmonton produced a sensational comeback in Game 3. With their offensive stars heating up and players returning from injury, the Oilers will be eager to level the series before it shifts back to California.
It’s a matchday loaded with storylines: comeback narratives, injury intrigue, and the relentless pursuit of Stanley Cup glory. At America Bet, we’ve analysed all the matchups in detail to give bettors and fans alike the most comprehensive previews and betting insights.

In Newark, the momentum is behind the New Jersey Devils, tipped to level the series against Carolina with a projected tight Hurricanes 2 – 3 Devils (OT) win. The Devils’ resilience and improved five-on-five play position them well against a Hurricanes team that has recently struggled to impose itself.
