A pair of second-round series in the NHL playoffs began on Tuesday. The Carolina Hurricanes, who downed the New Jersey Devils in the first round, took down the Washington Capitals, who beat the Montreal Canadiens in Round 1, in Game 1 on the road.

Zach Hyman scored with 3:02 left, and the Edmonton Oilers rallied yet again this postseason to defeat the Vegas Golden Knights 4-2 Tuesday night in Game 1 of their second-round series, setting an NHL record with their fifth playoff comeback win in a row.

Backs against the wall, the Golden Knights and Oilers showed exactly why they’ve been frequent fliers past the first round — and why the Minnesota Wild and Los Angeles Kings were first-round fodder once again.
