Stanley Cup Playoffs are underway and the second round matchups are coming into focus. We don’t have a start date for the next round, but it will likely be around May 4 or 5, depending on if any of the first round series go seven games.

The 2025 Stanley Cup playoffs begin on April 19. The Winnipeg Jets are the NHL's top overall seed, having finished the regular season with the most points in the standings, and the Washington Capitals earned the No. 1 seed in the East.

After a 4-0 Senators win in Game 5, the Leafs still hold a 3-2 series lead, but you might not know it by the way they played at home. They struggled to connect passes when it mattered, could not execute with the puck deep in the Senators’ zone and generally looked tense.
