An open thread to discuss all of the day’s Stanley Cup Playoffs action.
The North Division gets in on the second-round action Wednesday evening, with Montreal heading to Winnipeg for Game 1 of that series. In the nightcap, Vegas again plays in Colorado, looking to avenge a 7-1 drubbing in Sunday’s Game 1.
But before all of that, at 6 p.m., the Blackhawks and the other 14 teams atop the NHL draft list will learn their fate in the 2021 NHL Draft Lottery. Two rounds will be held to determine who earns the No. 1 and No. 2 overall picks on this year’s draft, which will be held on July 23-24. The lottery will be broadcast live on the NBC Sports Network.
Wednesday, June 2
Game 1: Montreal Canadiens at Winnipeg Jets, 6:30 p.m. (NBCSN, CBC)
Game 2: Vegas Golden Knights at Colorado Avalanche, 9 p.m. (NBCSN, CBC)
