The Hurricanes are the first team to advance to the second round, while the Penguins prevented the Flyers from joining them there – at least for today. Meanwhile, the Stars and Wild series is tightly contested as we expected. Carolina 4, Ottawa 2 (Hurricanes win series 4-0) Sebastian Aho scored two goals in the third [...]
The home teams won all three of Friday’s Game 3s, meaning that underdogs are now in the driver’s seat for all three of these series. Montreal 3, Tampa Bay 2 (Canadiens lead series 2-1) Lane Hutson scored on an absolute bomb early in overtime to give the Canadiens a 3-2 win in Game 3 and [...]
