NHL Playoff Openers

In the Eastern Conference, the Flyers snatched opener against the rival Penguins, securing a narrow 3-2 victory when 19-year-old rookie Porter Martone scored the decisive goal with just 2:37 remaining in regulation. Conversely, the Stars commenced poorly at home, losing Game 1 and marking the ninth time in their last eleven playoff runs that Dallas has dropped the initial contest on their own ice, with goaltender Jake Oettinger unable to secure the win against the visiting opponent.
