Anaheim completed yet another multi-goal comeback — their tenth of the season — to win 4-3 in overtime and take a commanding 3-1 series lead. Edmonton jumped out 2-0 on goals from Kasperi Kapanen and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, but the Ducks answered with power-play goals from Cutter Gauthier and Mikael Granlund to level it. Evan Bouchard struck four seconds into a third-period power play to put the Oilers back in front, but Jeffrey Viel tied it with 6:29 left. In overtime, Ryan Poehling's centering pass deflected off Darnell Nurse's skate and trickled under Tristan Jarry in a controversial finish upheld by review. Lukas Dostal denied McDavid twice late in regulation to keep Anaheim alive.

Buffalo put the game away before Boston could blink, erupting for four goals in the first 15 minutes at TD Garden to take a 3-1 series lead. Peyton Krebs, Josh Doan, Zach Benson and Bowen Byram all struck in the opening frame — the most first-period playoff goals the Bruins have surrendered since 1991. Beck Malenstyn and Alex Tuch added third-period goals to make it 6-1 and chase Jeremy Swayman. Alex Lyon was composed throughout, and the Sabres are now one win away from their first playoff series victory in nearly two decades.

Colorado put on a clinic in front of a hostile Crypto.com Arena crowd, closing out Los Angeles 5-1 to sweep the series and become the second team to advance. Nathan MacKinnon finally got on the scoresheet in emphatic fashion, potting a power-play goal in the first — the Avs' first man-advantage marker of the series — and adding an empty-netter late. Cale Makar struck early in the second to make it 2-0, and the Kings never recovered. Nicolas Roy and Devon Toews iced it in the third. Scott Wedgewood was quiet but steady with 24 saves as Colorado awaits the winner of Dallas–Minnesota.

With Colorado protecting a one-goal lead in the second period and the Avalanche's power play finding its first click of the series moments earlier, Cale Makar took matters into his own hands on an opportunistic read. Exploiting a matchup against the Kings' fourth line, he accelerated down the right wing, dragged onto his forehand at the circle, and rifled a wrist shot top shelf past Anton Forsberg.
