Out In Left Field / Re: 2024 NHL Playoffs
« Last post by mellongraig on Today at 04:52:16 AM »The Edmonton Oilers are the first Canadian team to move on to the second round, defeating the Los Angeles Kings for the third straight postseason in a row by a score of 4-3 and take the series 4-1. The last time a team eliminated the same opponent for three straight postseasons was the Chicago Blackhawks, who defeated the Minnesota Wild from 2013-2015.
They will face the winner of the Nashville/Vancouver series, where an all-Canadian match-up is possible, should Vancouver close it out in Game 6 Friday night or Game 7 if necessary on Sunday. If Nashville wins the next two games, Edmonton will get home ice advantage.
And the Dallas Stars, after losing their first two games, have now won three in a row by defeating the Vegas Golden Knights by a score of 3-2 in Game 5 and are leading the series as such, 3-2.
