Montreal Victoire vs. Ottawa Charge Game 4 Prediction, PWHL Finals Odds

Montreal still leads the best-of-five series 2-1, but Game 3 changed the feel of this matchup. The Victoire were less than a minute away from a 3-0 series sweep before Ottawa pushed back with two third-period goals, capped by a late winner from Rebecca Leslie to keep the Charge alive.

Now the pressure flips. Montreal gets another chance to close it out. Ottawa gets a second straight home game with belief, momentum, and a crowd that already showed what it can do late.

Montreal opens as a slight favourite on the PWHL Game 4 odds, while the total stays low again after three straight one-goal games.

Victoire vs. Charge Game 4 Betting Odds

Through three games, this series has been exactly what the scores suggest.

All three matchups have been decided by a single goal. Two went to overtime. The third was settled in the final minute. There’s no separation here, and the betting market reflects that.

Montreal has controlled more of the play at 5-on-5 across the series, but Ottawa has proven it doesn’t need much to convert. A turnover, a rebound, a broken sequence, that’s been enough.

Expect another tight moneyline and a total sitting in that low range again. Nothing so far suggests a wide-open game is coming.

Ottawa Charge

Ottawa finally got rewarded for sticking with it. Head coach Carla MacLeod pushed the right buttons in Game 3, and the response showed up when it mattered most. The Charge didn’t panic down 1-0. They stayed within their structure, waited for mistakes, and capitalized late.

The equalizer from Peyton Hemp came off a loose puck scramble. The winner from Leslie came off a rebound through traffic. That’s been the formula. It’s not about volume, it’s about timing.

Gwyneth Philips continues to give them a chance every night. She’s been steady again in this series and has quietly built a reputation for not losing in regulation in these spots.

The issue hasn’t changed, though. Ottawa still struggles to generate consistent offence. A two-player advantage in Game 3 produced nothing. In an elimination game, that margin for error is thin.

Montreal Victoire

Montreal is going to feel like Game 3 slipped. They got the first goal from Hayley Scamurra, controlled long stretches, and had chances to extend the lead. Instead, they left the door open and Ottawa walked through it late.

Marie-Philip Poulin has been around the puck all series and is still driving offence, even if it hasn’t fully shown up on the scoresheet. The chances are there. It’s a matter of converting one or two more of them.

In net, Ann-Renée Desbiens has done her job. This hasn’t been a goaltending issue for Montreal. It’s about finishing and managing the final minutes better than they did in Game 3.

The structure is still there. The identity hasn’t changed. They just need to execute it for a full 60.

PWHL Prediction: Who Will Win Victoire vs. Charge Game 4?

The lean is still Montreal to close out the series, but it’s not comfortable. Another one-goal game is the most likely outcome, and the under remains the strongest angle unless something breaks early.
