The Western Conference’s top-seeded team took care of business and moved on to the conference semifinals.
In New Jersey’s return to the Prudential Center, they built on their away successes to wallop the Rangers and move within touching distance of the second round. Schmid shut out a lost New York team that managed only 23 shots . At the other end, reigning Vezina Trophy winner Igor Shesterkin was peppered by 42 attempts, including a wobbly Ondrej Palat effort that beat him 40 seconds into the contest.
After two games, fans and bookmakers alike thought the Rangers had a chance at Stanley Cup glory. After five, they would be better off wondering about Gerard Gallant’s job security.After 11 days, the Stanley Cup Playoffs have finally produced a post-series handshake. The time-honored tradition came after the top-seeded Vegas Golden Knights saw off the Winnipeg Jets at home on Thursday.
For the Jets’ part, they pushed the Knights with their size and physicality, but just as they could not stay in the race for the Central Division title, they did not have the horses to hang in this series. Winnipeg’s upset chances began and ended with Connor Hellebuyck; between the goal lines, the disparity between the teams was too great for the Jets to win fair and square. Injuries to stars Mark Scheifele and Josh Morrissey only exacerbated that issue.
After an edgy first four games, Winnipeg went out with a whimper in Game 5. Chandler Stephenson gave the Knights a first-minute lead that lasted the period before captain Mark Stone scored just as quickly to open the second frame. William Karlsson made it three into a wide-open goal before Stephenson doubled his tally on the power play to seal Winnipeg’s fate before the second intermission.
