NHL Scores: Hurricanes Advance, Sens Fight Back

The 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs are heating up! We've seen upsets, overtime thrillers, and incredible comebacks. Let's dive into the latest scores and what they mean for the remaining series.

Carolina Hurricanes Take Down New Jersey Devils

The Carolina Hurricanes are moving on to the next round after a nail-biting 5-4 double-overtime victory against the New Jersey Devils. Sebastian Aho's power-play goal ended the series in dramatic fashion. The Devils fought hard, jumping out to a 3-0 lead early, but the Hurricanes roared back with three unanswered goals in the second period. Goalie Jacob Markström played exceptionally well for New Jersey, but a crucial double-minor penalty ultimately cost them the game.

Ottawa Senators Keep Hopes Alive

The Ottawa Senators stunned the Toronto Maple Leafs with a 4-0 victory in Game 5, forcing a Game 6 back in Ottawa. Linus Ullmark recorded a shutout, his first career playoff shutout, while Thomas Chabot and Dylan Cozens added goals. Only four teams in NHL history have won a series after being down 0-3; can the Senators become the fifth?

Edmonton Oilers Dominate Kings

The Edmonton Oilers are one win away from eliminating the Los Angeles Kings, leading their series 3-2. After being down 0-2, the Oilers have completely turned the tide, dominating possession and scoring. They look to close out the series on home ice in Game 6. The Kings are desperate to avoid a fourth straight first-round exit at the hands of Edmonton.

Vegas Golden Knights Reach a Milestone

The Vegas Golden Knights celebrated their 100th playoff game with a 3-2 overtime win against the Minnesota Wild, taking a 3-2 series lead. An interesting stat: Vegas boasts an impressive 41-game winning streak in the playoffs whenever they score at least three goals.
