If you didn't catch the game then I hate to be the one to break it to you, but last night the Capitals and Flyers went into two overtimes. At one point Washington was up 3-1, but that lead was quickly cut down by Philly. In double-overtime Mike Knuble beat Christobal Huet on a junk goal to win the game and help the Flyers to a 3-1 series lead.
Boston also smacked down Montreal 5-1, halting Montreal's victory dance for at least one more game. That series is now 3-2.
In my mind the best case scenario would be Boston beats Montreal. That way, Pitt plays Boston in Round Two, Philly (if they win) play the winners of the Rangers/Devils. Although I will admit, watching Boston beat Montreal in the series is a long shot. In any case, it's looking like Pittsburgh is on course to play either the Devils or the Rangers in the second round.
I've also updated the playoff stats for your viewing pleasure.
