We are on to the NHL's conference finals, with the Carolina Hurricanes, Dallas Stars, Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers all advancing.

Edmonton forward Zach Hyman feels like the Oilers probably played better in the opener of the Western Conference final than in the second game that they won

This just in, Edmonton Oilers' Corey Perry has now played more playoff games than every single NHL franchise this century, and no, this isn't a typo. At 40, Corey Perry is still stirring it up in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Hellebuyck was a lot better against the Stars; he saved 4.8 goals above expected, fueled by strong performances in Games 2, 5, and 6, which brought his total playoff GSAx up to minus-5.0. He helped force a Game 6 and gave his team a chance in that elimination game.
