It seems such a short time ago that all 16 teams began the 2025 Stanley Cup playoffs with a clean slate. On Tuesday night, two teams could have their postseason runs ended.
The Ottawa Senators won an overtime thriller in front of their home fans in Game 4 to avoid a sweep, but face a 3-1 deficit to the Toronto Maple Leafs heading into Game 5.
The New Jersey Devils got their home win in Game 3, but lost decisively in Game 4 and face the same deficit to the Carolina Hurricanes with Game 5 on tap in Raleigh.
