Preview: Capitals at Blue Jackets
Gracenote
Apr 16, 2018
The Washington Capitals are watching history repeat itself in the postseason, victimized by an opponent that is enjoying its first taste of playoff success. After rallying for a pair of overtime victories in Washington, the Columbus Blue Jackets can put a stranglehold on their Eastern Conference first-round series when they host the Capitals in Game 3 of the best-of-seven set on Tuesday night.
Columbus has never led, much less won, a postseason series but became only the fifth team in history to erase multiple-goal deficits in the opening two games of a playoff series. "It's a mindset. It's a bridge we have crossed and I hope we stay on the right side," Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella said. "We go out there knowing we're going to win. We're there to win. Not hope. As we've gone through a process as a young team the past couple of years, it was hoping." Washington now is in the position of hoping to avoid another early playoff exit -- it has lost in the second round in each of the past three seasons but did push Pittsburgh to seven games a year ago after also dropping the first two at home. "You're right now in a hard position," acknowledged Capitals superstar Alex Ovechkin. "But it's going to be fun when we bounce back and (we're) going to tie the series and come back here and play Game 5 at home."

ABOUT THE CAPITALS: Washington learned Monday that forward Andre Burakovsky will miss at least the next two games after sustaining an upper-body injury and he will be replaced by Jakub Vrana, who was a healthy scratch Tuesday after collecting an assist in the series opener. "There was a lot of jitters in his game," coach Barry Trotz said of Vrana. "The game was a little bit overwhelming. As a staff, we looked at that. But ... he's going to fill that hole exactly as Burakovsky's done." Trotz said he has made his decision on his starting goaltender in Game 3 but would not disclose if he is going back to Braden Holtby after he replaced Philipp Grubauer in the third period of Sunday's loss.
ABOUT THE BLUE JACKETS: Matt Calvert delivered the deciding tally in overtime Sunday, but Cam Atkinson netted two goals to rally Columbus from a pair of two-goal deficits and continue a late-season binge that has seen him score 13 times over his last 13 games. "I think he's at a higher level now than he was even last year, and it's at a perfect time," Tortorella said of Atkinson, who pumped in a career-best 35 goals in 2016-17. Two-time Vezina Trophy winner Sergei Bobrovsky entered the series with a ghastly 3-10 postseason record but he has been immense in the first two games, setting a franchise record with 54 saves, including 21 in the third period, in Sunday's victory.
OVERTIME
1. Teams who have lost the first two of a best-of-seven series at home have come back to win on only 19 of 89 occasions.
2. Atkinson is riding an 11-game point streak.
3. Washington is 5 of 13 on the power play but has allowed Columbus to convert on 4 of 8 chances with the extra skater.
PREDICTION: Capitals 4, Blue Jackets 3

Preview: Jets at Wild
Gracenote
Apr 16, 2018
The Minnesota Wild aim to draw even in their first-round playoff series against the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday at home, bolstered by a resounding 6-2 triumph in Sunday’s Game 3 to pull within two games to one. Outplayed in two losses at Winnipeg and facing a must-win situation in Game 3, Zach Parise scored for the third consecutive game and, after goaltender Devan Dubnyk held off the Jets through most of the second period, the Wild broke it open with three goals in 3:43.
“That’s the way the playoffs go,” Parise told reporters after five players finished with multi-point games in chasing Winnipeg netminder Connor Hellebuyck after two periods. “You go from losing two, thinking it’s the end of the world, and all of a sudden we’ve got some life.” The Wild took it to the Jets from the beginning with a physical brand of play Minnesota lacked in the opening two games, and Winnipeg - which did not make it to town until Sunday morning due to a blizzard - mustered no response after Tyler Myers pulled the Jets within 3-2 in the second period. “It’s all about how you respond,” Jets center Adam Lowry told the media after Winnipeg’s first defeat since March 29, snapping a seven-game winning streak. “We’ve done a good job of responding and finding our game for the next one.” Clearly the Jets still hold the upper-hand in the series but face the prospect of playing the pivotal Game 4 without Myers, a standout defenseman with two goals in the series who left with a leg injury in the second period.
TV: 8 p.m. ET, CNBC, TVA2, Sportsnet (Winnipeg), FS North (Minnesota)
ABOUT THE JETS: Winnipeg coach Paul Maurice did not offer an update after Monday’s practice on Myers, who has three points in the series while helping the Jets defense provide a spark in the first two games. Captain Blake Wheeler scored a power-play goal to give Winnipeg a short-lived 1-0 lead, but the NHL co-leader in assists in the regular season is a minus-3 in the series. The Jets played outstanding defense in the opening two games in Winnipeg but were victimized by undisciplined play at times in Game 3, as defenseman Ben Chiarot finished minus-2 and drew two minor penalties.
ABOUT THE WILD: The heroes were plenty in Game 3 but a pair of rookies - defenseman Nick Seeler (two assists and strong play on the penalty kill) and forward Jordan Greenway (first career goal) - helped set the tone in the decisive second period. Captain Mikko Koivu notched a pair of assists to give him four in the series, while fellow forward Mikael Granlund rebounded from a quiet opening two games with a goal and an assist. Dubnyk, who was pounded by 84 shots in the opening two games, denied several high-quality chances while the game was close and finished with 29 saves.
OVERTIME
1. The Jets are 1-for-8 on the power play in the past two games, while Minnesota is 3-for-7 after netting two power-play goals in Game 3.
2. Seeler, who totaled four points in 22 regular-season games as a rookie, is a plus-2 with 10 blocked shots to go with his two assists in the series.
3. Winnipeg’s depth at the blueline will be tested if Myers cannot play, but D Toby Enstrom - who has not seen action since March 23 with a lower-body injury -could be an option along with rookie D Tucker Poolman.
PREDICTION: Jets 3, Wild 2

Preview: Golden Knights at Kings
Gracenote
Apr 16, 2018
Only four teams in NHL history have rallied from a 3-0 deficit to win a best-of-seven series and one of them is the Los Angeles Kings, who came back from the dead against San Jose in 2014 en route to winning the Stanley Cup. The Kings find themselves in that situation again as they try to fight off elimination against the visiting Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday night.
After allowing three third-period goals to the expansion Golden Knights in Sunday's 3-2 defeat, Los Angeles is more concerned with sending the Western Conference first-round series back to Las Vegas than it is preoccupied with duplicating the comeback of four years ago. "We know it's possible. We've done it before, but I don't think we're looking that far ahead," Kings defenseman Drew Doughty said Monday. "Obviously, we got to win this series, but we're not looking at it in that sort of way. We just got to win one game right now. A series has so many momentum turns, and you never know what can happen if we win that next game." There were questions of whether the Golden Knights could deal with postseason pressure or thrive away from raucous T-Mobile Arena but they are on the verge of becoming the first team to advance to the next round. "They really came out really hard. We don't expect anything different," Vegas forward David Perron said. "They're a great team over there with a great goalie and some great players. We expect the exact same thing next game."
TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, NBC Sports Network, CBC, TVAS, AT&T Sportsnet-Rocky Mountain (Las Vegas), Prime Ticket (Los Angeles)
ABOUT THE GOLDEN KNIGHTS: Tied at 1-1 late in the third period, Vegas scored twice in a 21-second span, getting the tiebreaking tally from James Neal and an insurance goal from William Karlsson, who led the team with 43 during the regular season. Neal has reached 20 goals in each of his 11 seasons and is a proven playoff performer with 14 tallies in 42 postseason games over the previous three seasons with Nashville. “You want to score big goals, for sure,” Neal said. “I think when you do the right things -- if you’re finishing your checks, you’re playing well defensively -- the goals will come. I’ve been in enough of those games that I feel like if you stick with it, you’ll get your chance.”
ABOUT THE KINGS: Los Angeles allowed the fewest goals in the league during the regular season but a lack of offense is proving to be its downfall -- the Kings have won one of eight playoff games since hoisting the Cup and are 1-6 in those decided by one goal. "I felt it was our best game of the series," coach John Stevens said at Monday's optional practice of his team's latest effort. "Got a lot more pressure on the puck. I still think there are some things we can do better offensively to create some more opportunity at the net." Captain Anze Kopitar scored a late goal and set up the opening tally in Game 3, but he is the only Los Angeles player with more than one point in the series.
OVERTIME
1. The Kings failed on all five power-play chances in Game 3 and are 1-for-13 in the series.
2. Golden Knights G Marc-Andre Fleury has turned aside 96 of 99 shots in the series.
3. Kings F Tyler Toffoli has 14 shots on net in the series but is mired in an eight-game goal drought, his second-longest of the season.
PREDICTION: Kings 2, Golden Knights 1
