EDMONTON — The Winnipeg Jets are playing Cornhole. The Carolina Hurricanes chose Catan. The Washington Capitals are holding push-up competitions. The New York Rangers are competing in virtual golf. The Chicago Blackhawks are blasting ping pong balls past each other. And the Pittsburgh Penguins are draining jump shots on the basketball court.

These guys know they’re here for hockey, right? All joking aside, there’s no question the bubble environments created inside Edmonton and Toronto hotels have added to the unique feel of these Stanley Cup playoffs.
