Sunday’s NHL playoff board is easy to verify and easy to divide. Buffalo at Boston and Colorado at Los Angeles open the day, then Tampa Bay at Montreal and Edmonton at Anaheim extend the card into a later evening block.
Why the split matters
Playoff hockey rewards timing discipline. Early games set the tone for the market, but late games often move differently once lineup confirmations and goalie news become clearer.
What to watch
The official schedule confirms four games today, so the board is real and compact. That makes it a better day for selective positions than for trying to force a volume-heavy card.
Bottom line
Keep the read simple: verify the schedule, separate the two windows, and only act when the market information is clean.
