On the NHL Stanley Cup Playoff podcast with Matt:

#1 The San Jose Sharks came out again on Friday in game one of the second round against the Colorado Avalanche. There was no let down or any trouble much like the struggles they had in round one with the Vegas Golden Knights with a convincing 5-2 victory.

#2 The Sharks rallied twice in the contest after being one goal down and won their fourth straight playoff game.

#3 It was the second period when the Sharks started to take over the contest, and with the help of Sharks goalie Martin Jones, the Sharks were able to hold off the Avalanche as Jones stopped 26 shots.

#4 The Carolina Hurricanes’ Jordan Staal got an overtime goal at 4:04 to lead the Canes past the New York Islanders in the opening game of the second round series to take a 1-0 lead. The Hurricanes defeated the Isles in a razor close game 1-0.

#5 It was an amazing goal of sorts as the Canes’ Nino Niederreiter took a shot that caromed of the boards where Staal took the puck on the right side and put it past Isles goalie Robin Lehner’s skate.
