The thrill ride in Philadelphia continued Wednesday with the lone goal of the night coming deep in overtime to propel the Flyers into the second round for a meeting with the Carolina Hurricanes. There was also a late night in Sin City where it took double overtime to send Vegas to within a win of advancing while the Montreal Canadiens earned the right to finish off the Lightning Friday prevailing in Tampa. Vic and Neil cover an entertaining evening and set up Thursday where higher seeds Dallas and Edmonton have to win on the road in order to survive to a seventh game.

From cellar dwellers to playoff contenders, the San Jose Sharks made one of the most dramatic improvements in the NHL in 2025-26. Led by budding superstar Macklin Celebrini, the Sharks remained in contention right to the end of the regular season. With one of the most dynamic young offenses in the NHL, the priority for GM Mike Grier and head coach Ryan Warsofsky is to clean up the other end of the rink where the team remained one of the leakiest in the league.

The Bruins and Oilers had plenty to prove after digging themselves 3-1 holes and both delivered to survive to Game 6. In Dallas, the Stars did not run Wild over Minnesota and, thus, will head back to their former home trying to save their season. Vic and Neil review the three Tuesday games and look ahead to Wednesday where a pair of deadlocked series will put teams in the drivers seat while the Flyers try for a third time to close out the Penguins.

From Presidents' Trophy to missing the playoffs. That was the story of the 2025-26 Winnipeg Jets. The season started well enough but lack of support for the top line and inconsistent play put the Jets in a position where they chased the pack during the second half and eventually ran out of runway to qualify for the post-season. Vic and Neil look back at what their expectations were back last August, provide the data that spelled doom and fast forward to what lies ahead as GM Kevin Cheveldayoff prepares for 2026-27.

Faced with different types of adversity, the Penguins and Golden Knights both answered the call Monday as the Pens staved off elimination for the second straight game and the VGK regained home ice advantage with an overtime win in Utah. Vic and Neil will cover those games and also look ahead to a trio of Game 5's as the Sabres and Ducks look to advance at the expense of the Bruins and Oilers while Stars and Wild will break their 2-2 deadlock.

Every playoff series is like a fingerprint. No two series are exactly alike and each develops a unique personality as play moves on. Two stirring games highlighted Sunday with the Anaheim Ducks moving to within a win to taking out the Edmonton Oilers with a controversial overtime goal while the Lightning used a late third period goal in Montreal to draw even in that series. In a series played closer than would be suggested, the Colorado Avalanche completed a sweep Sunday, thus bringing to a close the career of Kings captain Anze Kopitar. Finally, did the Bruins know their game against the Sabres was a 2pm local start? Sure didn't think so. Vic and Neil break it down and also preview the Monday games where the Penguins will look to stave off elimination again while the Golden Knights seek to square their series in Utah.
