Golden Knights vs Stars: Logan Thompson gets the Game 1 start for Vegas after Adin Hill struggled down the stretch. Jake Oettinger turned his season around after a slow start.

Isles forecheck forces a turnover, Horvat scores. 2-0 NYI.

Leafs vs Bruins: Game 2:
BOS had 15 NZ takeaways in Game 1, most by a team so far. Didn't cost TOR, other than EN goal but it takes away from their offence and it might if it continues..👀
Shane talked about that in our series preview below, as well.

Islanders vs Hurricanes - Game 2:

Isles looking to even series. Played a pretty solid Game 1. Won 64% of the puck battles and created a lot of offence by forcing turnovers.

Turnover scoring chances (within 5s of turnover) were 7-0 NYI. Most by a team in a playoff game so far.

Avalanche had some good looks off of those entries, a season high in their 4 games vs WPG in terms of generating chances from them. Had an 15-4 advantage in cycle chances at 5v5, as well. Imagine there will be quite a few adjustments by each side ahead of Game 2.

Hughes talking about the importance of screening Saros ⬇️. Saros had an .863 save % on screened shots this season - 49th out of 54 qualified goalies.

Thatcher Demko with a marvelous save early into Game 1! 🙅‍♂️ #StanleyCup

Georgiev in Game 1: -4.36 goals saved above expected. Only four games this season where a goalie finished with a bigger minus. Georgiev's start Nov. 4th vs VGK one of them.

36-0

Taped this before the game but might as well have been a 2nd intermission hit. Well done Mike Rupp & Shane Kelly 👊. Game 1 has been wild.

Predators vs Canucks: If the Preds are going to get past the Canucks, they're going to have to get through one of the stingiest defences in the league...
NHL Network

4-3 Jets. Winnipeg is 35-0 when scoring 4 or more goals this season - the only undefeated team in the NHL. League average win % .873. Get the feeling neither team is done scoring though.

Crazy 1st period. 3-3 after 20.
Jets are an NHL best 46-7 when scoring 3 or more goals in a game this season - win % = .868
Avalanche have the 10th best win % = .797
NHL average = .737

Avalanche vs Jets: The model like the Avs, I think home ice / goaltending could tilt this in the Jets favour...
NHL Network

Capitals vs Rangers: Caps have their hands full in this one but there is one area they've had success against the Rangers this season...

TOR/BOS preview: I have #LeafsForever , these guys got me thinking twice about it though… #NHLBruins

Playoff Preview - Lightning vs Panthers:
The model likes the Panthers who play a heavy OZ game. How Tampa Bay deals with their forecheck will go a long way in deciding the series. NHL Network
