Game 2: Another suffocating performance from the Hurricanes in Raleigh, and the Devils offered little in the way of pushback on Friday night. Hurricanes claimed a 6-1 win and took a 2-0 lead in the series. [Devils NHL]
Game 3: The Devils took it to the Hurricanes on Sunday (I will not speak of the atrocities committed on the power play), as Jack Hughes potted two goals and two assists while Luke Hughes tallied two assists in his playoff debut. The Devils claimed a 8-4 win and are down 2-1 in the series. [Devils NHL]
Starting to think this Luke Hughes might be a guy for the Devils:
Talk about a #StanleyCup Playoffs debut… And Luke Hughes did it with his brother by his side.

On Leon Draisaitl’s impressive run in the playoffs: “Draisaitl now has 13 goals in the postseason. The NHL record, in 100 years and change, is 19, reached first by Reggie Leach for the Philadelphia Flyers in 1976. Leach needed 16 games to get there. Draisaitl is six away in half the games.” [The Athletic ($)]
“Online anger boiled over when (NHL ref Wes McCauley) was one of the two referees in the first game of the playoffs for the Leafs, a 7-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, and the game in which Michael Bunting earned a three-game suspension. A league source told the Star that there were threats made against McCauley’s family that night, feeding off the frenzy that McCauley and Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe have a long-standing beef that goes beyond the ice.” [Toronto Star]
