The Stanley Cup Playoffs are underway. The months long journey to crowning a new champion began with a pair of games in the Western Conference with two tops teams standing tall. The Winnipeg Jets, who won the Presidents’ Trophy this season, took care of the St. Louis Blues in their opening game while the Colorado Avalanche dispatched their rival the Dallas Stars in impressive fashion 5-1.
On Sunday, the Carolina Hurricanes took care of business at home with a 4-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils. Elsewhere in the East, the Toronto Maple Leafs turned in a dominant effort by beating the Ottawa Senators 6-2. And in the nightcap, the Vegas Golden Knights outlasted the Minnesota Wild 4-2.
