Series wrap-up: Tom Wilson mocks Hurricanes’ celebration

Tom Wilson mocks Hurricanes’ celebration

Up 2-1 in the series, the Hurricanes wanted to push the Caps to the brink.

Thanks to a 5-2 victory, Carolina now leads the series 3-1 and can reach the Association Finals in Washington the day after tomorrow.

In the victory, Taylor Hall and Sean Walker collected two points each. Walker scored his first career playoff goal.

Hall, meanwhile, scored a superb breakaway goal.

In defeat, Alex Ovechkin scored his first goal of the series.

It was his 77th playoff goal. He thus overtook Mario Lemieux for 12th all-time in goals after the regular season.

Tom Wilson also made a splash.

He imitated the Hurricanes’ post-game celebrations. Yet Carolina dominates the series…

Not necessarily the right thing to do.

Oilers one win away from Western final

In the West, the Oilers, too, could be one win away from the Western Final.

Yesterday, they blanked Vegas 3-0. They now lead the series 3-1.

Like Carolina, Edmonton can eliminate their opponents at home in tomorrow’s game.

Stuart Skinner may not be having the best of series, but in games number four, he’s unbeatable. Take a look at his stats in match number 4.

Yesterday, he stopped all 24 shots fired at him.

Adam Henrique started the ball rolling in forward. He opened the scoring in the 26th second.

And he scored his second later in the first.

Extension

– A bizarre goal.

– Two-point game for Hall, Jakob Chychrun and Walker.

– The Stars can take a 3-1 series lead tonight.
