Nevada wins and Vancouver advances
Vancouver 1 – Nashville 0 (Series Canucks 4-2) The Canucks advance in part to their rookie third-string goaltender Mr. Silovs who earned a shutout in only his third career playoff start after starting nine regular season games this year.
Predators’ goaltender Saros allowed just one puck to get past him all night but Nashville could not take advantage of Vancouver’s double-minor penalty highlighting the Predators need for consistent special team power play production.
Nevada 2 – Dallas 0 en (Series tied 3-3) Dallas came up short in eliminating their desperate hosts in a game the Nevada HC Cassidy said was not a “snooze-fest” because of the 0-0 third period score where the goaltenders were the dominant players of the game.
The Stars are in alignment for Dallas to win and advance as they host game seven of this opening round Sunday night.
