How and when to watch the Boston Bruins vs. Toronto Maple Leafs game
Game 4 of the Boston Bruins vs. Toronto Maple Leafs NHL Playoffs series will be played on Saturday, April 27, 2024 at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT). The game will air on TBS and stream on Sling TV and the live TV streaming platforms featured below.
How to watch the Boston Bruins vs. Toronto Maple Leafs game without cable
If your cable subscription doesn’t carry TBS, or you’ve cut the cord with your cable company, you can still watch the playoffs. Below are the platforms on which you can watch today’s NFL Playoffs game.
Save $25 on Sling TV: The most cost-effective way to stream the Boston Bruins vs. Toronto Maple Leafs game
If you don’t have cable and you want to watch today’s hockey game, one of the most cost-effective ways to stream playoff games is through a subscription to Sling TV. To watch NHL hockey in the postseason, you’ll need a subscription to the Orange + Blue tier. Also worth noting: Sling TV comes with 50 hours of cloud-based DVR recording space included, perfect for recording today’s game.
Sling’s Orange + Blue tier costs $60 per month, but the platform is currently offering $25 off the first month of any pricing tier, making the Orange + Blue tier $35 for the first month. You can cancel anytime.
Note: Because Sling TV doesn’t carry CBS, you won’t be able to watch CBS-aired programming like next year’s NFL games on CBS. If you’re looking for one live TV streaming platform to watch all your favorite sports, we suggest a subscription to Hulu + Live TV.
Top features of Sling TV Blue tier:
- There are 46 channels to watch in total, including ABC, NBC and Fox (where available).
- You get access to NHL games airing on TNT and TBS, which Fubo doesn’t carry.
- All subscription tiers include 50 hours of cloud-based DVR storage.
