NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs podcast Len Shapiro:

#1 Tom Wilson scored a goal and picked up an assist. The Capitals also got scoring help from Connor McMichael and John Carlson. The Capitals are the number one seed in the Metropolitan Division and Eastern Conference and with the win they have tied up the series 1-1.

#2 The Washington Capitals goaltender Logan Thompson stopped 27 shots and another 16 in the third period as the Capitals defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 3-1 in Game 2 of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs Eastern Conference Second Round at Capital One Arena Thursday night.

#3 Leon Draisaitl scored the game winning goal at 15:20 in the overtime stanza to help the Edmonton Oilers defeat the Vegas Golden Knights at the T Mobile Arena in Las Vegas to take a 2-0 lead in the second round of the Western Conference Stanley Cup Playoffs.

#4 In order for the Knights to get back into this series they virtually will need to win two games in Edmonton and the way the Oilers have been going at it that’s a long odds shot. The Oilers can finish this up even with a split in Edmonton going back to Vegas for a game 5?

#5 In the Eastern Conference you have Toronto and Florida with the Leafs in front 2-0. How do you see the rest of this series playing out.
