Rangers Take Game 2 (5-1) in New Jersey; Avs Rally (3-2) to Even Series
Last night’s slate of playoff hockey had a little bit of everything. We got two blowouts as the Rangers continued their dominance against the Devils with their second consecutive 5-1 victory on the road, while the Maple Leafs got back on track with a statement victory (7-2) over the Lightning. Meanwhile, the Avalanche also evened up their series with the Kraken, but it took a heroic rally from a 2-0 deficit. Vegas also found themselves down early against the underdog Jets but pulled away late with a three-goal third period. Here’s the Stanley Cup playoff scoreboard:
