Devils Edge Hurricanes in Thrilling Playoff Match

Nico Hischier and Dawson Mercer got the Devils off to a strong start, but the Hurricanes fought back with power-play goals from Seth Jarvis and Sebastian Aho to tie the game. The teams were evenly matched in the first overtime period, but Simon Nemec scored the winning goal, potentially saving the Devils' season.


This win could be crucial for the Devils, who haven't made the playoffs since the 2022-2023 season, when they lost to the Hurricanes in five games.


Canadiens Outlast Capitals in Physical Brawl

The Montreal Canadiens won a physical and intense game against the Washington Capitals, 6-3, cutting the series deficit to 2-1. After a back-and-forth first two periods, the teams were tied 3-3 in the third when Christian Dvorak scored, sparking three unanswered goals for Montreal.




The game was marked by a massive fight heading into the second period, resulting in 42 penalty minutes. Capitals goaltender Logan Thompson left the game in the third period after an awkward collision with Dylan Strome, which left his leg bent unnaturally. Despite the physicality, the Canadiens emerged victorious, with Alexander Ovechkin scoring for the Capitals.


Oilers Bounce Back with Thrilling Win

The Edmonton Oilers rebounded from two losses to defeat the Los Angeles Kings 7-4, securing their first win in the series. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Evan Bouchard gave the Oilers an early 2-0 lead, but the Kings rallied, scoring three unanswered goals to take control.


The Kings extended their lead to 4-3 by the second period's end, but the Oilers staged a comeback in the third, scoring twice within minutes to take the lead. As the Kings pulled their goalie for an extra attacker, the Oilers capitalized, adding two more goals to seal the win.
