We’ve got one series headed for a sweep, the last two champions in trouble early, and five series that could go the distance at this rate. Yesterday, for the first time in this round, no games went to overtime but we had some close calls. Today the Capitals and Blues will try to get back in their respective series as Chicago faces elimination at the hands of Vegas. What can we expect from the Flyers and Stars who were both shut out in their last games?

Saturday’s Games
