The Western Conference Game 2's see 4 teams trying to grab a multi-game lead while the other 4 try to even the series.

GAME 1 - San Jose wins a 4-3 nail biter against Colorado [SJ - 2; COL - 0]
For the second straight game the Sharks pull off a 4-3 win over the Avs. San Jose held a late lead before the Avalanche tie it up with their goalie pulled; unfortunately for Avs fans Milan Lucic would score just 1:07 into OT to take the win for the Sharks.

GAME 2 - Dallas manages the last goal in a 5-4 win over Edmonton [DAL - 1; EDM - 1]
Edmonton takes a 2-1 lead into the third; Dallas then ties the game, before twice taking the lead only for Edmonton to even things back up. The Stars third lead of the period ends up holding as Dallas evens up the series.

GAME 3 - Nashville pays Detroit back with a 7-3 crushing of their own [DET - 1; NSH - 1]
Nashville grabs their first lead of the game just 27 seconds before the halfway mark before potting another goal to take a 4-2 lead into the third period. The Wings cut the lead to one shortly into the final frame, only to collapse and allow 3 goals the rest of the way.

GAME 4 - LA beats the Blues 6-2 to tie the series [STL - 1; LAK - 1]
The Kings fail to learn their lesson about powerplays surrendering an even worse margin of 5-0 in favour of the Blues, including 4(!) St. Louis powerplays in the third period. Despite this their PK holds the fort perfectly en route to a 6-2 revenge drubbing of the Blues.

[SharksGM]

For the second straight game the Sharks pull off a 4-3 win over the Avs. San Jose held a late lead before the Avalanche tie it up with their goalie pulled; unfortunately for Avs fans Milan Lucic would score just 1:07 into OT to take the win for the Sharks.

Well, shots were 31-19 so I'll take it, given EHM's fetish for 4-3 playoff games.
