Meanwhile! The Winnepeg Jets -- the #2 team in the NHL-- resumed their playoff quest last night! Unluckily for them, their opponent is the Nashville Predators-- the #1 team in the NHL. Despite being heavily outshot, the Jets stole a 4-1 win. The score is flattering to the Jets, whereas the shot-clock is flattering to the Predators. It was a very close game. Although the Predators had 48 shots on net, many were of the long distance/low traffic variety that posed no challenge for Winnipeg's superstar goaltender Connor Hellebuyck.
The Las Vegas Golden Knights announced their arrival in the second round on Thursday by crushing the Sharks 7-0. That series resumes tonight. The Bruins and Lightning start their series tonight.
The remaining series is one of the most intense rivalries of recent years-- Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins. The Penguins always seem to have the Capitals' number. They won the first game of the series on Thursday. That series, as well as Jets-Predators, continues on Sunday.
