Mikko Rantanen has shown exactly why Dallas was willing to pay a hefty price to acquire him. Logan Stankoven has fit in perfectly going from the Stars to Carolina, with Taylor Hall and Mark Jankowski also playing well.

The night got underway with the Maple Leafs outlasting the Panthers, 4-3, behind two-point performances from Max Pacioretty, Max Domi and Morgan Rielly. Pacioretty continued his spectacular level of play with a goal and an assist to pace the Maple Leafs, who take 2-0 series lead to South Florida.

Dallas Stars superstar Mikko Rantanen has done it again. He single-handedly won the Stars' first-round series against his former team, and now he has propelled them to a Game 1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets to open the second round.
