There are some series that are just fly under the radar and I feel most of the teams that played last night fit that bill. The Oilers and Jets matchup is proving to be intriguing but even that is coming up short of McDavid excitement. That being said, last night did have some overtime excitement and a whole lot of dangerous territory for two teams in particular.
The first team to be taken to the brink of elimination was not supposed to be the Washington Capitals. The series started in favour of the Caps with a heroic effort by Craig Anderson and the expected victory of the first game at home.
