NHL Playoff News: The good series are good, the others...are also on TV

Only two NHL playoff games tonight — a Game 3 and a Game 4, because NHL scheduling is hard — but they should be good ones.

The Lightning will try to even things up in a Battle of Florida that has seen the road team take the first three games, then in the late game the Avalanche and Stars meet in a pivotal Game 5 of a tied series, just as Bossy intended.

Unfortunately, Sunday’s epic slate of games did not produce #maxchaos 2-2 ties in every series. The Blues eased past Winnipeg in the early game to tie that series 2-2, but then the Devils and Canadiens each lost 5-2 (ENG included) in the middle games, to fall behind in their series, 3-1.
