Matchup notes
New Jersey Devils in Carolina Hurricanes
Game 1 | 3 PM et, ESPN
These two teams divide the regular series of season with two wins each. In particular, all four of these games were played before Devils star Jack Hughes suffered an injury at the end of the end time. The Hurricanes were run by Sebastian Aho (29 goals, 45 templates) this season this season, while Sweden's Jesper Bratt was the leading scorer of the Devils (21 goals, 67 assists). The most recent collision of the two teams occurred in 2023, which the Canes won 4-1.

Ottawa senatorers in Toronto Maple Leafs
Game 1 | 7 p.m. ET, ESPN2
The opening skirmish in the Ontario battle is the first post -season appearance for the senators since 2017 -and the first for Ottawa captain Brady Tkachuk. On the other hand, this is the ninth playoff picture of the Maple Leafs – with just a series profit that shows for it. Toronto made his evaluation rates disappear in previous seasons, so the leading goal scorer Mitch Marner (27 goals, 75 assists) & Co. hope to turn this trend. And while Toronto is the favorite in the series, Ottawa won all three regular season between the teams.
Minnesota Wild at Vegas Golden Knights
Game 1 | 10 p.m. ET, ESPN
On Sunday, the Wild Card Wild Face sees one of the most complete team in the west. The newly signed Minnesota defender Zeev Buium-Frisch from a run to the NCAA Frozen Four Finale with the University of Denver-Sah in the final of the regular season. How much is it used in this series? The knights will come in waves in the wilderness, led by Center Jack Eichel, who received some hard trophy voices in the final issue of the NHL Awards Watch from ESPN. Vegas won all three games of the regular season between the two clubs with a total number of points of 12: 4.
Arda's three stars of Saturday
A goal and two templates for Connor, who kept the offensive of the jets up to date in a game that saw the sound for Winnipeg in this series – including a comeback of the third period. After the post -season, this team is still motivated by an outcome in the first round of five games and would also like to keep the trophy of the presidents going.
One of the best players in the game and he appeared on Saturday. Three points in game 1 (on the street, no less), including the later game for the game and an empty network to help the avalanche to take the early lead in the series.
The chemistry between Scheifele and Connor was exhibited. The center ended with three points in game 1, including a great game to reach Connor The Puck late in the third period with the gaming goal.
Results on Saturday
Winnipeg Jets 5, St. Louis Blues 3
Jets Lead Series 1-0
An angry first period included two goals for both teams when the clubs decided to throw hay manufacturers at the beginning of the series instead of patiently reading their opponents. After a balance sheet in the second period of Jordan Kyrou, the blues led a 3-2 lead, but the jets took over the third-party with the dynamics in front of a “white out” group and then with a trio of goals. Alex Iafallo had third place at 9:18 a.m., followed by the game winner of Kyle Connor with 1:36 left and a gate with an empty network of Adam Lowry to put the game away.

Jets score 5 goals in an exciting game 1 victory against the blues
The jets best of the Blues 5-3 in game 1 of your playoff series.
Colorado Avalanche 5, Dallas Stars 2
AVS Lead Series 1-0
In contrast to the earlier game on Saturday, these two competitors started 0-0 with a first first period. But from the second phase everything was avalanche. Artturi Lehkonen opened the gate with one of the most unique goals in the memory, with the puck being hit by his skate and about Jake Oettinger's shoulder – the piece was set to a good goal in review. Nathan Mackinnon added a Power Play-Bally after Roope Hintz designed it to push it to 2-0, and the AVS never looked back. Although Hintz achieved its own power play goal in the third, the AVS goals from Devon Toews, a Mackinnon empties and a final balance by Charlie Coyle scored.
