The 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs continue to prove to be the best thing in American sports to watch right now after the St. Louis Blues tied up the series with the Winnipeg Jets while the Washington Capitals take a 3-1 series lead over the Montreal Canadiens following a four-goal third period!

Blues 5-1 Jets

Winnipeg pulled the league's top goalie in Connor Hellebuyck after he let up his fifth goal of the game as the Jets drop the past two matches of the series. 

After Kyle Connor scored his third goal of the playoffs to give the Jets a 1-0, it was all Blues from there, scoring five straight goals that wrapped up with Robert Thomas' second of the series. 

The Blues have now outscored the Jets 12-3 over the past two games as the series heads back to Winnipeg for Game 5. 

Could this be yet another playoffs that haunt Hellebuyck?

Capitals 5-2 Canadiens

Heading into the third period down 2-1, the Capitals played as if it was personal after more scrums started between both teams and the fans chanted Logan Thompson's name after he was injured in Game 3.

Thompson then became a brick wall denying all nine shots of the Canadiens while his teammates scored four times on the same number of shots at the other end. 

Brandon Duhaime scored his first two goals of the playoffs en route to the Caps win. 

They now have the chance to close the series out in Game 5 as they head back home to the nation's capital.

Hurricanes 5-2 Devils

Andrei Svechnikov scored a hat trick for the Canes with his first goal coming within the first 52 seconds of the game. 

New Jersey battled back after going down 3-0 to cut the lead to one, but it ultimately proved to not be enough after Brent Burns and Svechnikov extended it a five-goal win to go 3-1 in the series.

Carolina will have the chance to close out the series as they had back home for Game 5 on Tuesday, April 29th. 

Oilers 4-3 Kings

The Edmonton Oilers mounted a late to beat the Los Angeles Kings and level the series 2-2.

Evan Bouchard helped the Oilers battle back from 3-1 down to make it 3-3, before Leon Draisaitl scored an overtime winner on the powerplay.
