Columbus Blue Jackets 3, Boston Bruins 2

- The NHL has gone seven consecutive days with at least one overtime playoff game. That is the second longest streak in history, tied with three other instances. The longest streak was nine days from April 19 to April 27 of 2011.
- All three multiple overtime games from this year’s postseason have ended in road team victories. Yep, still stings.
- Matt Duchene is the second player in Blue Jackets history to score the winner in a game that required multiple overtimes, joining Matt Calvert who did so in 2014.
Dallas Stars 4, St Louis Blues 2
Series tied 1-1
- Roope Hintz is the first Stars/North Stars rookie to record three points in a playoff game since Don Barber did so in 1990.

- Stars rookies have combined for six goals in this year’s playoffs, the most the franchise has had from rookies in one postseason since they moved to Texas.
