Two of the first-round series are over and more will wrap up this week as the Stanley Cup Playoffs continue. In the East, Buffalo has Boston on the brink of elimination, as Philadelphia does with Pittsburgh. Tampa and Montreal are tied at two games apiece, with that series off until Wednesday night. Out West, Utah has the early 2-1 lead over Vegas with a chance to hold home ice on Monday night, Dallas and Minnesota are deadlocked after four games in a series that feels destined for seven and Anaheim could score a massive upset with one more win over Edmonton after taking a 3-1 series lead over the weekend.
