All of the games are now finals except Tampa/Phoenix.
1. The Islanders beat Boston 4-1. I would have considered it an upset in the beginning of the season, but Boston has played poorly this year and the Islanders have shown to be quite competitive in a lot of their games.
2. Philadelphia beat New Jersey 3-2. Close game! I am sure it didn't help the Devil's to have all that extra pressure to tie the record for most road wins in a row to start a season.
3. Columbus beat Edmonton 3-2 in the shootout. Oh, how Edmonton has fallen since the start of the season. And Mason wasn't even in net for Columbus!
4. Pittsburgh beat Anaheim 5-2. Malkin didn't get a point, but the Pens got 5 goals(11 goals in 2 games now!). You can tell how important he is to this team since they got shut out 2 games in a row while he was out.
5. LA beat Florida 4-3 in the shootout. Meh, I say. Meh.
Tampa Bay leads Phoenix 3-1 after 2 periods of play.
Any thoughts on tonight's games?
