NHL First Round Action

The Edmonton Oilers secured a tight 4-3 victory over the Anaheim Ducks in Game 1 of their opening series, benefiting from a late third-period goal by Kasperi Kapanen with just 1:54 remaining, while returning star Leon Draisaitl contributed two points to the win. Elsewhere, the Dallas Stars corrected their early playoff shortcomings, earning a crucial 4-2 series-tying victory against the Minnesota Wild by eliminating the same mistakes that hampered them previously. In a marathon contest, the Carolina Hurricanes prevailed in the second overtime session when Jordan Martinook scored at 13:53 after a dramatic earlier sequence saw a potential game-winning goal overturned and Martinook himself denied on a first-overtime penalty shot against Linus Ullmark to lift Canes.
