The first team to face elimination in the 2023 post-season is the New York Islanders, which was also the first team to make their splash ahead of the trade deadline by acquiring Bo Horvat even before the All-Star Game. Horvat finally got on the board in Game 4 with his first goal, but it came at 5-1 and wasn’t enough to prevent New York from getting into the situation it now faces.

While the Hurricanes-Islanders series may be wrapping up, you can say the Stars-Wild matchup is just getting started. It’s now a best-of-three with the Stars holding home-ice advantage, however there has been little advantage at all for teams playing in their own arenas this spring: visiting teams had rattled off 11 wins in a row before the Kraken broke the streak in overtime last night.

The Oilers averted disaster in Game 4, rallying from a 3-0 deficit after the first period to get the game to overtime, where Zach Hyman scored to tie the series up. The scene shifts back to Edmonton with the Oilers looking for a better start to keep from having to pull off such a comeback again.
