Playoffs Day 5

Yesterday's action showed us that we have 2 different 3-0 leads for 2 different teams. The Canadiens took a 2-1 series lead when they beat the Rangers 3-1 at Madison Square Garden. They were up 3-0 until the Rangers got one late, but it didn't matter at that point. Shea Weber got the eventual game winning goal in the third period. The Blues took a 3-0 series lead against the Wild when they beat them 3-1 at home. The Wild throughout the series have out shot the Blues every single game, but have only managed 1 goal a game. Jaden Schwartz once again got the game winning goal in the third and the Blues got an empty net goal to seal the deal. Jake Allen has been absolutely amazing since he has saved 114 out of 117 total shots in the series. The Oilers once again shut out the Sharks, but this time it was only 1-0 at SAP Center. San Jose out shot the Oilers 23-22, but couldn't beat Cam Talbot, Zack Kassian scored the lone goal in the third. Of course I saved the best for last, the Penguins took a 3-0 series lead against the Blue Jackets as they made a great comeback down 3-1 and won 5-4 in overtime. The Jackets were up 11 seconds into the game thanks to Cam Atkinson and they took a 3-1 lead, but Zach Werenski took a puck to the face which caused a Penguins goal, and Zach returned to the ice like a boss. Jake Guentzel the rookie for the Penguins got a hat trick and also got the overtime winner. Can the Blues and Penguins sweep their series? Can the Sharks get a goal against the Oilers? Can the Rangers tie the series? stay tuned....
