Last night, the Capitals and the Hurricanes played Game 4, and Carolina got the decisive win to take the series to 3-1, just one step away from the conference final.

Vegas and the Oilers were the late match, with Edmonton leading 2-1 going into the game. The Oilers shut out Vegas and now lead 3-1.

In prospect action Easton Cowan was himself:

London led Oshawa 5-1 in the third period, but in true junior hockey style, Oshawa scored three times to make it a one-goal game. Oshawa pulled their goalie with nine minutes left which got them the goal that made it 5-3. He came right back in, per the play-by-play, so it wasn't that radical a move.

London scored again, ending the hopes and dreams of Oshawa for about a minute until Oshawa also scored again. Easton Cowan got the ENG, finally winning the game 7-5 for London, and bringing the series to 2-1 for the Knights. They play again tonight. You don't get to wallow for long in junior hockey.

The WHL was dark last night, but Spokane and Medicine Hat are at it again tonight. They are tied at one-all.

Ottawa and Montréal are tied at one game each heading into tonight's match. The Sceptres and the Frost play their Game 3 tomorrow.

This is a good writeup, but there is zero chance Toronto does not go with Kristen Campbell tomorrow night.
