New York, Florida, Nashville, and Colorado Win

New York 4 – Washington 3 (Series NYR 2-0) Rangers defenseman Miller scored shorthanded to give New York a two goal lead towards the end of the second period contributing to the offense for the victory.
Washington played well in the beginning of the first two periods with Mr. Ovechkin registering his only shot, unfortunately along with porous goaltending implying disaster looms for Capitals fans this series if things do not change quickly.

Florida 3 – Tampa Bay 2 OT (Series Florida 2-0) Florida took 13 shots in the first period and scored twice, Tampa Bay took 15 shots in the second period and scored twice, and no one scored in the third period.
Overtime lasted three minutes as the Panthers Mr. Verhaeghe scored a beautiful backhander and Florida takes the 2-0 lead in the battle for state supremacy.

Nashville 4 – Vancouver 1 (Series tied 1-1) The Predators on average scored every four shots on goal and the Canucks could only get 18 shots to the net.
Nashville blocked 30 shots in a herculean defensive effort that allowed Predators goaltender Saros to earn a .944 SV% highlighted by an incredible pad save.

Colorado 5 – Winnipeg 2 (Series tied 1-1) The Avalanche threw 15 shots on net in the first period and did not score then they took 14 shots on goal in the second period and scored four times, along with their empty netter accounting for all five goals.
The Jets could only score twice over the first two periods resulting from 22 shots on goal, but Colorado’s goaltender played his best game to date in shutting down Winnipeg’s offense.

I understand that penalties get missed or ignored by refs but when they result in a game changing goal, I really lose it.
