Devils & Kraken Win Game 4s to Even Series (2-2); Maple Leafs & Golden Knights Go Up 3-1
The first round continued in the Stanley Cup Playoffs on Monday with two overtime games and a pair of series that could go seven. The Devils got one back on the Rangers and the Kraken evened things with the Avalanche courtesy of Jordan Eberle’s OT winner. The Golden Knights pushed the Jets to the brink of elimination. And the Maple Leafs — using a three-goal third period comeback — topped the Lightning with Alexander Kerfoot’s OT winner. All eight opening-round series are still going strong, but the Hurricanes can be the first team through to the quarterfinals tonight.
