Andrew McGinnis and Lawrence Presman host a high-energy episode of WagerTalk's PuckTime, diving into NHL playoff betting picks for April 14, 2026, just days before the Stanley Cup playoffs begin. The duo analyze key matchups including Winnipeg Jets vs. Utah Mammoth, New Jersey Devils vs. Boston Bruins, and Montreal Canadiens vs. Philadelphia Flyers, with Prez emphasizing Utah’s desperation to avoid Colorado in the first round and advocating for a strong underdog play. Buster joins later, focusing on Montreal’s home-ice advantage implications and cautioning against betting on Philadelphia despite their playoff status. Both guests highlight the trend of teams resting stars and the resulting overs in scoring, with Prez and Buster agreeing that defensive effort will be minimal in most games. The episode also features promotional codes for WagerTalk subscribers, including 'PuckTime50' and 'Social15', and celebrates Prez’s 14-4 record in 5% NHL plays and his undefeated NBA playoff betting streak over four seasons.
Bet on Utah Mammoth in regulation against Winnipeg Jets due to their playoff survival stakes and Winnipeg’s emotional letdown after missing the playoffs.
Avoid betting on underdogs like Philadelphia in their final regular-season game—expect them to rest key players and play flat.
Montreal Canadiens are a strong value play for series betting now, especially if they win tonight to secure home-ice advantage against Tampa Bay.
Expect high-scoring games across the board—block shots are down, defense is minimal, and overs are likely in most matchups.
Use early lines for best value, especially on games where teams may rest players or have injury concerns.

Opening & Playoff Countdown
Andrew and Lawrence kick off the show with excitement for the upcoming 2026 Stanley Cup playoffs, setting the stage for a high-stakes betting analysis just days before the postseason begins.
Utah vs. Winnipeg: The Desperation Play
“I like Utah tonight. I like them a lot. I like them on the money line, the puck line. I like them in regulation. I think they win this game by two plus three plus four plus goals.”
New Jersey vs. Boston: The Underdog Fade
Prez argues that New Jersey Devils are motivated to finish strong, while Boston Bruins will likely rest players and play defensively, making the under a risky bet despite the odds.
Montreal vs. Philadelphia: Home Ice Value
“If you want to bet the Habs, bet them now. If you want to bet the Flyers, wait and get the best number you possibly can.”
Pittsburgh vs. St. Louis: The Young Team Advantage
“Even if all those guys do play, how many minutes are they going to play in the third period? Their minutes will be cut huge.”
“If you want to bet the Habs, bet them now. If you want to bet the Flyers, wait and get the best number you possibly can.”
“I like Utah tonight. I like them a lot. I like them on the money line, the puck line. I like them in regulation. I think they win this game by two plus three plus four plus goals.”
“You could just wake up and bet the over in Pittsburgh Penguin games the past two months, and you can go on as many vacations as Carmine goes on.”
