The Golden Knights had some of their stars come to life in Game 2, and they were able to tie the series up before heading up to Winnipeg. The Jets will hope their crowd gives them the boost to regain the series lead.

It’s been a series of blowouts, with Toronto rebalancing the scales thanks to a lopsided score in their favour on Thursday. The teams traded wins all through last year’s series until Game 7, and we’ll see if that trend continues.

Game 3: New Jersey Devils @ New York Rangers

NYR leads 2-0

The Rangers couldn’t keep pace with Devils in the latter half of the regular season and had to start this series on the road as a result, but that didn’t faze them one bit. It should be no surprise that a series featuring two teams with better road than home records hasn’t seen a win from the host team, and now it’s the Devils’ turn to show how they posted a 28-9-4 mark away from Prudential Center this year.

Game 3: Colorado Avalanche @ Seattle Kraken

The Colorado Avalanche, the second-best team in the Western Conference, only finished nine points up on the Seattle Kraken in the first wild-card spot, and the series has been similarly close, with scorelines of 3-1 and 3-2 so far. With it now a best-of-five, the action turns to Climate Pledge Arena for the very first time.
