Mrazek to the rescue
The Carolina Hurricanes trailed 2-0 to the Washington Capitals in the series, but managed to bounce back with a pair of home victories and Petr Mrazek propelled the Canes to a win in Game 4 with this fantastic save late in the third period.

Schwartz completes the comeback
The St. Louis Blues trailed 2-0 in Game 4 against the Winnipeg Jets and although the hosts held that lead through the first two periods, the Blues made a comeback through Ryan O’Reilly, Brayden Schenn and Jaden Schwartz, who scored a winner with just 15 seconds to go.

I love ice cream too!
The Toronto Maple Leafs failed to take advantage of home ice and secure a win in Game 4 against Boston Bruins but that didn’t stop referee Wes McCauley from telling Mitchell Marner that he also loves ice cream. Check out the video here.

Colorado’s arena came to life
The Colorado Avalanche are one step away from upsetting the No. 1 seed Calgary Flames after securing a 3-2 overtime win in Game 4 to take a 3-1 lead in the series. Considering how they synchronized lights in the crowd and fueled the fans prior to the game, it is no wonder why the Avs got this close to eliminating the favored Flames.
So far, this year's NHL playoffs have been a proving ground for in-arena production teams.
Here's a look at how the @Avalanche make their arena come to life with synchronized lights in the crowd.
