Sports Seriously

The NHL playoffs’ first round is down to one game before the second round opens on Monday.

The St. Louis Blues will visit the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday night for Game 7 in Winnipeg. Vezina and Hart Trophy finalist Connor Hellebuyck will look to bounce back after he was pulled for the third time in the series.

Sunday’s winner will face the Dallas Stars, who ousted the Colorado Avalanche in Game 7 Saturday night behind Mikko Rantanen’s third-period hat trick.

The other second-round series are the Washington Capitals vs. Carolina Hurricanes, Toronto Maple Leafs vs. the defending champion Florida Panthers, and Vegas Golden Knights vs. Edmonton Oilers.

Here are the playoff matchups, schedule and results for the first round of the NHL’s Stanley Cup playoffs (all times p.m. ET, series are best of seven):
