Good morning, Buffalo Sabres fans! Tonight could be a big night in the NHL, with the potential for a pair of first-round playoff series to come to a close this evening.
Montreal, up 3-0 on Ottawa, can sweep the series with a win tonight. Anaheim can also sweep the Jets with a victory.
Last night, the Red Wings took a 2-1 series lead over Tampa Bay; the Capitals won in overtime to tie the series with the Islanders at two apiece. Chicago won in the 101st minute of play – that’s the third overtime – take a 3-1 series lead over Nashville, and Calgary topped Vancouver to take a 3-1 series lead there as well.
