One Canadian NHL team has already moved on to the next round of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs, while two others have managed to stay alive.
In Miami last night, the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs got 22 saves from Joseph Woll (Boston College) and an insurance goal by Max Pacioretty (Michigan) in blanking the defending champion Florida Panthers, 2-0, in Game Six of that Eastern Conference series. The deciding Game Seven will be played Sunday night in Toronto.
On Thursday, the host Winnipeg Jets stayed alive with a 4-0 shutout of the Dallas Stars in Game Five of that matchup. Connor Hellebuyck (UMass Lowell) stopped all 22 shots he faced, while Kyle Connor (Michigan) posted two assists for the Jets. Game Six is in Dallas tonight, with the Stars still leading the series, three games to two. The winner will face Edmonton, which ousted Vegas in five games, in the Western Conference final.
ADDENDUM: Hellebuyck made 18 saves, and Connor came up with another assist, but Winnipeg was eliminated by Dallas, 2-1, in overtime in Game Six. Florida ousted Toronto with a 6-1 victory in Game Seven of that series.
