LBC Wednesday Playoff Game Thread

The end of the first round of the 2014 Stanley Cup playoffs is upon us. Three very happy (and relieved) teams will advance, while three others will call it quits for the season. The Colorado-Minnesota series has yet to see a road winner, while no one has won back-to-back games in the New York-Philadelphia series. Can the Wild and/or the Flyers break the trend to pull off the upset? Out on the west coast, the Kings will be looking to become only the fourth team in NHL history to bounce back from a 3-0 hole. Can they complete the comeback, or will the Sharks be able to shake off a history of choking to close the deal and book a date with the waiting Anaheim Ducks?

Tonight’s action:

Philadelphia Flyers at New York Rangers (Series tied 3-3) 7 p.m. NBCSN

Minnesota Wild at Colorado Avalanche (Series tied 3-3) 9:30 p.m. CNBC

Los Angeles Kings at San Jose Sharks (Series tied 3-3) 10 p.m. NBCSN
