The Devils did indeed add to their stellar road record this season with a win at Madison Square Garden in Game 3, thanks to an overtime goal and a great effort from Akira Schmid in net. They’ll have to do it again tonight to even up the series, then sort out their game at Prudential Center to not squander home-ice advantage a second time.

Game 4: Toronto Maple Leafs @ Tampa Bay Lightning

After winning the first game in lopsided fashion, the Lightning have now dropped two in a row. They deserve to be the team in the lead after three games, and it’s only because of the play of Ilya Samsonov in Toronto’s crease in Game 3 that that isn’t the case.

Game 4: Vegas Golden Knights @ Winnipeg Jets

Winnipeg was dealt not only a heartbreaking double-overtime defeat on Saturday afternoon, but lost arguably their most important skater, Josh Morrissey, in the process. It will have to be the other blue-liners who step up to prevent Las Vegas’s winning streak from reaching three.

Game 4: Colorado Avalanche @ Seattle Kraken

Down 3-1 in the second period of Game 3, the first ever NHL playoff crowd at Climate Pledge Arena was cheering loudly when the Kraken came back to tie the game. The Avalanche rolled over them in the third period however, getting the edge on the league’s newest team. What does the expansion club have in the tank for its second home game?
