NHL:
There’s a smell of elimination in the air, it’s that time of the first round as teams are getting into games 6 and 7…
Last night Vegas had the chance to close out their series against the Sharks but it was not to be. The Sharks got a shorthanded goal in the 2nd OT from Tomas Hertl to push that series to a 7th and deciding game. Martin Jones made a franchise record 58-saves to steal the win for the Sharks.
The Leafs also had a chance to close out their series against the Bruins but Boston had other ideas, great plays from Marchand and DeBrusk and a horrible performance from Jake Muzzin bring the Leafs and Bruins to a deciding 7th game.
Tonight the Capitals look to eliminate the Hurricanes, the Capitals have a 3-2 series lead.
The Dallas Stars are also trying to punch their ticket to the Semi-Finals, they’ll take on the Predators with a 3-2 series lead.
