Blues, Hurricanes, Capitals & Oilers Prevail
Blues 5 – Jets 1 (Series tied 2-2) HC Arniel remains confident in his number one goaltender who was pulled the last two games as St. Louis found its offense on the road to tie the series.
Hurricanes 5 – Devils 2 (en) (Series 3-1 Carolina) The Devils had a strong second period but not enough to win as New Jersey now faces elimination on the road.
Capitals 5 – Canadiens 2 (2x en) (Series 3-1 Washington) A heartbreaker for Montreal fans as the Canadiens led 2-1 heading into the third period as their rookie goaltender in only his second playoff game played well enough to win.
Oilers 4 – Kings 3 (OT) (Series tied 2-2) The Kings outshot the Oilers in the first two periods 28 to 15 taking the 3-1 lead heading into the third period, but then Los Angeles began to sit back, and Edmonton poured it on scoring the next three goals outshooting the Kings in overtime 17 to 7 as the Oilers win and tie the series.
