#NHLPeachy @NHL NHL Morning Skate: Stanley Cup Playoffs Edition – June 4, 2021

THREE HARD LAPS

* Twenty of the 54 games contested in the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs have required overtime (37.1%) after both games on Thursday went to extra time. Despite being early in the Second Round, the 20 overtime games this postseason are already tied for the 11th-highest total in a single playoff year in Stanley Cup Playoffs history.

* Nail-biting games have become a common occurrence in the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Overall, 27 of the 54 games contested this postseason have been decided by a one-goal margin (50.0%).

* With each of their teams competing in crucial Game 3s, Brad Marchand and Jordan Staal each scored their second overtime goal of the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

MARCHAND, STAAL BOTH SCORE OT GOALS IN PIVOTAL GAMES 3s

Boston’s Brad Marchand and Carolina’s Jordan Staal each scored their third career overtime goals on Thursday. Only five active players have recorded more: Corey Perry (5), Patrick Kane (5), Patrice Bergeron (4), Nicklas Backstrom (4) and Patrick Marleau (4).

HURRICANES HOLD OFF LIGHTNING RALLY TO CLIMB BACK INTO SERIES

After Brayden Point and Alex Killorn helped the Lightning erase a 2-0 deficit, Jordan Staal deflected the overtime winner past Andrei Vasilevskiy to lift the Hurricanes to victory in Game 3. Carolina has competed in seven consecutive one-goal games dating to Game 3 of the First Round – the longest such stretch by any team since Ottawa (8 GP) and Washington (7 GP) during the 2017 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

* Staal, who scored his third career overtime goal (all w/ CAR) and matched Niclas Wallin (3) for the most in Hurricanes/Whalers history, looks to help Carolina erase a 2-0 series deficit – a feat he has accomplished in his career previously. While as a member of the Penguins, Staal did so twice in 2009 en route to a Stanley Cup (CSF vs. WSH & SCF vs. DET).

* Sebastian Aho assisted on Staal’s game-winning goal and finished the contest with 1-2—3, marking his fourth career playoff game with three or more points to tie Staal’s brother, Eric, for the second most in Hurricanes/Whalers history. Kevin Dineen (5) is the only player with more.

* Carolina improved to 3-2 in overtime games during the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs and has registered at least three overtime wins in a single postseason for the fourth time in franchise history. The others: 2002 (7), 2006 (4) and 2009 (3).

BRUINS REBOUND FROM LATE TYING GOAL TO BEAT ISLANDERS

Mathew Barzal tied the game with 5:26 remaining in regulation, but Brad Marchand scored the winner 3:36 into overtime as the Bruins took a 2-1 series lead. It marked the club’s second-ever playoff win on the road versus the Islanders, which also required overtime (also Game 4 of 1980 QF).

* Marchand, who moved into a tie with Phil Esposito for fourth place on the Bruins’ all-time playoffs points list with the effort, netted his third career overtime goal in the postseason and also tied Terry O’Reilly and Mel Hill for the second most in Bruins history. Teammate and current captain, Patrice Bergeron (4), is the franchise leader.

QUICK CLICKS

* #NHLStats Live Updates: Friday, June 4

* Jets’ Mark Scheifele Suspended Four Games for Charging

* Marc-Andre Fleury's 5-year-old daughter sends cute note to dad ahead of Game 2

* Kirill Kaprizov, Alex Nedeljkovic, Jason Robertson voted Calder Trophy finalists

AVALANCHE, CANADIENS LOOK TO EXTEND WINNING STREAKS

Colorado and Montreal aim to extend their winning streak to seven and five games, respectively, as the Second Round of the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs continues with two contests tonight.

* The Avalanche own a 6-0 record this postseason, which is tied for the franchise’s longest winning streak at any point in a playoff year – the Quebec Nordiques also had a six-game run in 1987. The Canadiens look to earn five or more consecutive wins within a postseason for just the third time over the last 30 years, following 11- and five-game streaks in 1993 and 2014, respectively.

* Colorado can become the 12th team in NHL history to earn victories in each of its first seven or more contests from the start of a postseason and first since Pittsburgh during the 2008 Stanley Cup Playoffs (7-0). Each of the eight teams with a postseason-opening winning streak of at least seven games during the NHL’s expansion era (since 1967-68) went on to reach the Stanley Cup Final that year – the three such runs before 1967-68 spanned into the Final, with the club claiming a championship in each instance.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
