On the night of Sunday, April 28, four matches took place in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
In the first game of the evening, Carolina had the opportunity to close the series with the Islanders, but the New York team survived, winning in the second overtime.
The situation repeated itself in the second game, where Tampa Bay defeated Florida on its ice, but this did not greatly affect the score in the series.
But Boston defeated Toronto on the road and is now one victory away from advancing to the next round.
Two overtimes in New York were not the only ones – Vegas and Dallas also decided to please the fans with an increased number of game minutes. The final victory was taken by the Stars, who also reduced the gap in the series.
