First Round Tightening

Slow fighting-front, but some good action so far out of the first round.

The one fight last night was from Montreal–Boston.  Guillaume Latendresse and Shane Hnidy threw some punches in-tight after a scrum developed at the end of the first period.

Including the regular season over one third of Montreal’s fights have been against Boston this season.

Marc Savard scored the game-winner in OT for the Bruins.  The series is now 2-1 in the Habs favor.

The Devils took the same route, winning in OT and now trailing the Rangers by just one game.

Philly–Washington‘s tied up, and Calgary came back from being down 3-0 early to win 4-3 and take a one game lead on the San Jose.
