Commanding Leads

Carolina & Edmonton earn 3-1 lead in their Series

Hurricanes 5 – Capitals 2 (en) (SC QTR Finals 3-1 Carolina) Washington is in dire straits, although they scored a power play goal, and they won most of the faceoffs, out hit, out blocked, scored twice on just 6 SOG during the third period (21 SOG for the game), it was not enough as Carolina took more SOG each period and scored four times on 36 SOG along with the empty netter to take the 3-1 near insurmountable series lead.

Oilers 3 – Knights 0 (SC QTR Finals 3-1 Edmonton) The Oilers dominated the Knights by outshooting them 15-5 and scoring twice amidst fighting, roughing, slashing, charging, and cross-checking penalties for the 2-0 lead all in the first period, bolstered by LW Kane’s goal in the second period and goaltender Skinner’s shutout, Nevada never stood a chance.

Sunday Afternoon Playoff Results

Dallas & Florida Provide Winning Southern Hospitality

Stars 5 – Jets 2 (SC QTR Finals 2-1 Dallas) The game was pretty even after two periods but early in the third period Dallas scored twice in less than a minute for the two-goal lead then scored again with six minutes remaining in the game for the win and the 2-1 series lead.

Panthers 2 – Maple Leafs 0 (SC QTR Finals tied 2-2) A curious win as Florida outshot Toronto 15-4 and scored only once on four power play opportunities during the first period, both goaltenders played an outstanding game, and Toronto’s frustrated offense needs to find a way at home in game five against the Cup champions.
