Another two-game day is on, beginning with...
The Carolina Hurricanes welcoming the Tampa Bay Lightning. Andrei Vasilevskiy and Alex Nedeljkovic man the nets. Tampa Bay got going in the second period with a Brayden Point power play goal, his eighth of the postseason, powered by Alex Killorn and Nikita Kucherov. The Lightning added on in the third period with a Ross Colton goal, his third of the playoffs, going in unassisted. This stood for a 2-0 win, with the three stars going to Vasilevskiy (29 save shutout), Point, and Colton. The Lightning won the series 4-1 and will await the winner of the Boston Bruins and New York Islanders series in the Stanley Cup Semifinals.
Out in Colorado, the Avalanche bring in the Vegas Golden Knights. Marc-Andre Fleury and Philipp Grubauer tend the twines. Colorado opened in the first period with a Brandon Saad goal, his seventh of the postseason, fueled by Devon Toews and Mikko Rantanen. The Avalanche added on in the second period with a Joonas Donskoi goal, his third of the playoffs, via Alex Newhook and Patrik Nemeth. Vegas got on the board in the third period with an Alex Tuch goal, his fourth of the postseason, coming off of Nicolas Roy and Mattias Janmark. The Golden Knights tied it on a Jonathan Marchessault goal, his sixth of the playoffs, passed from William Karlsson. Vegas won 3-2 in overtime with a Mark Stone goal, his fifth of the postseason, helped along by Max Pacioretty and Alex Pietrangelo. The three stars were Stone, Marchessault, and Tuch. The Golden Knights head home with a 3-2 series lead.
