Evgeny Dadonov's double helped Dallas defeat Minnesota and level the score in the first round of the NHL playoffs. The Russian striker scored in the knockout round for the first time in his career.

A similar achievement was noted by Klim Kostin, who scored the winning goal in the match between Edmonton and Los Angeles. Goaltender Ilya Sorokin made 33 saves against Carolina, but his Islanders lost in overtime. Dmitry Orlov's assist also did not help Boston in the game against Florida.
