Another dramatic day with the NHL playoffs is in the past. Vancouver made the most noise at night, erasing a two-goal deficit at the end of regular time and then deciding in overtime. The Rangers are the first to celebrate advancing to the second round of the elimination battles.

Colorado close to advancing
After an even first period, the power of the Avalanche showed. The hockey players of the home team completely dominated the second 20-minute period, scored three goals and got into a comfortable lead, which they safely guarded and went on to win 5:1. Striker Valerij Ničuškin flashed a hat-trick.
On the other hand, Connor Hellebuyck, who was replaced after the second period, is struggling a lot in this series.

SERIES STATE: 1:3
The Canucks didn’t give up and are celebrating a big turnaround
This defeat will hurt the Predators a lot, because it could easily be the defining moment of the entire series. With three minutes to go, Nashville held a two-goal lead, but then came the arrival of Brock Boeser, who completed the hat trick with two goals (the second eight seconds before the end) and sent the match into overtime. In it, Elias Lindholm came through almost immediately and decided that the Canucks lead the series 3-1.
In addition, Colton Sissons experienced a frustrating moment at the end, who missed an empty goal at 3:2 and stamped the post.
