The opening round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs continued on Sunday with three games.
EASTERN CONFERENCE:
At Philadelphia:
Nicklas Backstrom the the game's only goal in the second period while Braden Holtby saved all 26 shots as the Washington Capitals defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 1-0 on the road in game six of their conference quarterfinal series and finished off their hosts four games to two.
The Capitals will face the Pittsburgh Penguins in an Eastern Conference semifinal series.
At Brooklyn, New York:
John Tavares scored the equalizer with 54 seconds remaining in regulation, then scored the game-and-series-winning goal at 10:41 of the second overtime period as the New York Islanders defeated the visiting Florida Panthers 2-1 in game five of their conference quarterfinal series and won the series four games to one.
The series victory was the Islanders' first since 1993.
Next up for New York: a conference semifinal series against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
WESTERN CONFERENCE:
At St. Paul, Minnesota:
Jason Spezza scored once and assisted twice as the Dallas Stars nearly blew a four-goal lead but held on for a 5-4 game-six road victory over the Minnesota Wild and won their conference quarterfinal series four games to two.
