Former NCAA players came through again on Monday night in the first round of the NHL's 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Kyle Connor (Michigan) scored early in the third overtime to lift the Winnipeg Jets to a 4-3 win over the visiting Edmonton Oilers, and a sweep of that four-game series. Mason Appleton (Michigan State) also scored for the Jets, who will play the winner of Montreal-Toronto.
Cam Talbot (Alabama-Huntsville) stopped 38 shots as the visiting Minnesota Wild defeated the Vegas Golden Knights, 4-2, to stave off elimination in Game Five of that best-of-seven series. Zach Parise (North Dakota), Jordan Greenway (Boston University) and Nico Strum (Clarkson) scored goals for Minnesota, while Alec Martinez (Miami) had a goal for Vegas.
Lastly, after surrendering an early goal to Ross Colton (Vermont) on the first shot he faced, Spencer Knight (Boston College) stopped the next 36 shots in his first career professional postseason start to keep the Florida Panthers alive with a 4-1 win over the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning in Game Five of their series.
