Round two kicks off, uh, two days ago (the file says May 14th, but I'm doing this at 1am on May 16th, so I don't even know). And as previously noted, the West will, somewhat surprisingly, have less travel than the East.
Game 1, LA's Maxwell Gildon scores his first of the playoffs less than 2 minutes into the game, but Dallas storms into the lead with three goals less than 3 minutes apart, two by Grigorenko. Unfortunately for the Stars, there was still 50 minutes left in the game at that point, and the Kings steadily clawed their way back, two goals around the halfway point in the second bringing it even followed by two more goals in the last five minutes of the third.
And so the Kings take game one by a score of 5-3, despite going 0 for 5 on the powerplay.
Ever so far away was a slightly more back-and-forth affair. Anaheim also opened the scoring early with 2 first period goals, then San Jose tied it up midway through the second, but allowed Anaheim to regain the lead soon after. The Sharks kept going and put two more past Steve Mason, taking the lead just over halfway through the third.... a lead they held for about 2.5 minutes. The Ducks rattled off three straight to take game one 6-4.
