Tuesday was another lovely night in the first round of the NHL playoffs, with two overtimes, one series elimination, and two teams left feeling a self-choke is very much within reach.
The Leafs, who took a 3-0 series lead thanks to two overtime victories, failed to close out the series at home and now face a Game 6 in Ottawa. The Devils, after blitzing to a 3-0 lead, went into a shell that lasted all the way through the first OT (miraculously without giving up the winner) before the Canes knocked them out on a power play in the second OT.
