With a win, Los Angeles could ensure they start the playoffs at home. And that’s exactly what the team did. The Kings won 5-0.

. 2. The Canucks win in overtime In Vancouver, the Sharks, the worst team in the league, were visiting.

Paul Maurice’s team lost 5-3 to the Rangers. They will face either Tampa Bay or Toronto and start the series on the road. It’s impossible for the Panthers to finish lower than third in their division.
Against the Rangers, Sergei Bobrovsky allowed five goals on 25 shots. He still made key saves to keep his team in the game. A flurry of big saves from Bobrovsky! pic.
