Also: Connor McDavid’s two-goal outing wasn’t enough for the Oilers to get past the Kings.
There’s nothing quite like the excitement of the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
After Kyle Palmieri made it a 2–1 game with 3:51 left in the third period of Friday’s game, the Islanders scored three more goals to win by a rather lopsided 5–1 margin and cut the Hurricanes’ series lead in half. The longtime Edmonton Oiler-turned-New Jersey Devil-turned-Arizona Coyote-turned-Buffalo Sabre is finally getting his chance to shine on the big stage with the heavy Stanley Cup favorite, and he lived up to his pedigree as a No. 1 pick with a goal and an assist in hostile territory on Friday.
Gustavsson stopped all but one of the 24 shots he faced for a sparkling .958 save percentage in the win. Former Stars forward Mats Zuccarello tallied a pair of goals for the Wild to give them a 2–1 series lead.: Minnesota is ahead in this series despite star forward Kirill Kaprizov still sitting on zero 5-on-5 points through three games. The 25-year-old winger tallied on a power play in Game 1 before being shut out entirely in both Games 2 and 3.
