    Nhl Morning Skate: Stanley Cup Playoffs Edition – May 25, 2021

    NHL MORNING SKATE: STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS EDITION – MAY 25, 2021 THREE HARD LAPS * The Jets won the first triple-overtime game of the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs – the longest game in franchise history – to complete their first-ever sweep. Winnipeg became the third team to reach the 2021 Second Round. * More than one-third of contests so far this postseason have required extra time, with 12 overtime games through 35 games played (34%). Only seven rounds in NHL history have featured more such contests. * Goaltenders Spencer Knight and Cam Talbot stood tall on Monday to help the Panthers and Wild extend their respective series to a Game 6. JETS WIN LONGEST GAME IN FRANCHISE HISTORY, COMPLETE FIRST-EVER SWEEP The Jets and Oilers required overtime for a third straight game and second straight day, this time extending to three extra periods before Winnipeg’s Kyle Connor scored after 106:52 of action. The Jets won the longest game in franchise history to complete the first sweep ever by the club and reach the Second Round for the second time (also 2018). * Winnipeg will next face either Toronto or Montreal in what will be the first-ever Stanley Cup Playoffs series between the two cities (including both iterations of the Winnipeg Jets). * Winnipeg became the fifth club to sweep the team with the Art Ross Trophy winner (since the award was introduced in 1947-48), following Columbus (2019 R1 vs. TBL), Edmonton (1990 DF vs. LAK), NY Islanders (1983 SCF vs. EDM) and Montreal (1960 SF vs. CHI). OVERTIME TREND CONTINUES IN 2021 FIRST ROUND Eight of 10 days so far this postseason have seen at least one overtime game, with a total of 12 overtime games through 35 contests in the 2021 First Round (34%).
