Playoffs April 26th Results

Lightning, Knights, Senators & Avalanche are the Subjugators

Lightning 5 – Panthers 1 (Series 2-1 Florida) Neither team scored on the nine power plays (TB 5 – FL 4) that were handed out during the game, and Florida goaltender Bobrovsky earned an uncharacteristic .810% save percentage by letting in four goals on just 21 SOG from Tampa Bay.

Knights 4 – Wild 3 (OT) (Series tied 2-2) Both teams win big on the road as the Knights escaped Minnesota with the overtime win as Jack Eichel has contributed his first point (secondary assist) in his fourth playoff game.

Senators 4 – Maple Leafs 3 (OT) (Series 3-1 Toronto) Ottawa sends the series back to Toronto with strong goaltending and special teams as the Senators scored on the power play and shorthanded avoiding elimination.

Avalanche 4 – Stars 0 (Series tied 2-2) In his eighth season and third team goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood has played his best GAA regular season in his first year with Colorado and earning his first post-season shutout.

Additionally, Colorado Captain LW Gabriel Landeskog playing in his first game in nearly three years scored the lone goal in the second period for an Avalanche 3-0 lead as well as assisting on the last goal of the game.
