Here’s what caught our eye.
The Panthers have had an up-and-down season, but on paper, they’re a solid team.
Well, we’ll be treated to the ultimate match-up between the two teams, as the Panthers tied the series last night with a 7-5 victory.
🙌 THERE WILL BE A GAME 7 IN BOSTON 🙌
The @FlaPanthers would not go away quietly in Game 6, and shortly after the teams traded third period goals, Eetu Luostarinen RIPS home the eventual game winner! #StanleyCup pic.twitter.com/8HsayvGv6H

It’s game number 7 in Boston on Monday, with the winner advancing to the second round.
It wasn’t easy for the Canes, but they managed to end their first-round series against the Islanders last night with a 2-1 overtime victory.
Pin-point accuracy from Cal Clutterbuck! 🎯 #StanleyCup

It’s a shame for the Islanders’ goalie, who had an excellent season and a good series all in all.
As for the Hurricanes, well, it’s been since 2015 that goaltender Frederik Andersen hadn’t won a decisive game in the playoffs.
It’s been 2910 days since he won game number 5 with the Anaheim Ducks against the Calgary Flames.

Rod Brind’Amour’s troupe will therefore face either the New York Rangers or the New Jersey Devils in the second round.
ROOPE CANNOT BE STOPPED! 😳 #StanleyCup

He’s the leading scorer in the playoffs so far.
The Stars won rather easily, while the Wild seemed to be completely shut out and didn’t seem to be putting in any effort.
Achievement unlocked: Buzzer Beater! 🏆
The @DallasStars head into the 3rd period up 3-0! #StanleyCup

For the Wild, it’s another first-round defeat. It’s been eight years since they’ve made it past the first round.

They’re the Leafs of the West, after all.
In fact, the Stars’ social media didn’t hesitate to laugh at the Wild.

The Seattle Kraken is surprising a lot of people this season, and it’s also ruining the predictions of many field hockey fans.
Jared Bednar’s team won 4-1 to avoid elimination last night.
