Last night, two second-round series were presented.
The Rangers could double their lead against the Hurricanes, while the Stars and Avalanche began a seven-game series.
Here are the results:
Avalanche come from behind 0-3 to win in overtime
After the first period in Game 1 of the Dallas-Colorado series, the visitors' chances were looking pretty slim.
The Stars put their foot on the gas, scoring three goals to take a 3-0 lead.

After that, it was all Avalanche.
Thanks to goals from Valeri Nichuchkin, Cale Makar and Nathan MacKinnon, overtime was necessary.

Before that goal, Alexandar Georgiev kept his team in the game.
In overtime, he frustrated Tyler Seguin.

Igor Shesterkin unbeatable and the Rangers ahead 2-0: the Hurricanes are in trouble…
It wasn't a short or easy game, but the Rangers finally got the better of the Hurricanes yesterday in double overtime.
Final score: 4-3.
Vincent Trocheck was the hero in overtime.

But the real hero wasn't Trocheck, it was Igor Shesterkin, who was simply sensational.
He stopped 54 of the 57 shots fired at him.
A special performance from Igor Shesterkin delivers a Game 2 victory for the @NYRangers.

Jacob Trouba also made a splash, but unlike his teammates, he made a fool of himself.
Trying to pulverize Martin Necas, he pulverized himself in the bay window.

Let's take a moment to appreciate this screenshot :
News from Jesperi Kotkaniemi: he played only 9:15 in an 87-minute game.
Carolina will have to win four of the first five games if it wants to stay alive.
At least, they'll be back in action on Thursday at 7pm.
New York leads 2-0.
Overtime
– On lottery day, Alexis Lafrenière scored two goals.
