The second round comes to a close tonight.
The second round concludes in Vancouver with the two best words in sports: Game Seven. It’ll be the Vancouver Canucks hosting the Edmonton Oilers, with the winner advancing to the Western Conference Final to take on the Dallas Stars.
Connor McDavid will look to return to the third round for the first time since 2022, facing the Colorado Avalanche at the time. Meanwhile, Vancouver will look to be back for the first time since 2011 but will have to do it without Brock Boeser. He’s suffering from blood clots and will be out for the rest of the season. Who are you pulling for to try and face the Stars?
