Bruins look to clinch series win over the Maple Leafs

Boston Bruins (47-20-15, second in the Atlantic Division) vs. Toronto Maple Leafs (46-26-10, third in the Atlantic Division)

Draisaitl scores twice as Oilers beat Kings 4-3 to advance to 2nd round

— The Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles Kings played a tight-checking series at even strength. The special teams matchup, however, was lopsided — and that’s why it ended in five games.

Kings lament special teams play after playoff elimination

Kings interim coach Jim Hiller said the difference in their series against the Oilers was special teams play. "If we had performed well, we'd still be playing," he said.
