Rivera fired up the fans
The Carolina Hurricanes had a special guest to open Game 4 against New York Islanders. It was none other than Carolina Panthers’ head coach, Ron Rivera, who signaled Hurricane Warning at PNC Arena and the fans went crazy when they saw him.
It's @Panthers head coach @RiverboatRonHC getting @NHLCanes fans going tonight. #StanleyCup

Lindell with a first playoff goal
The Dallas Stars defeated the St. Louis Blues in Game 5 on the road, and now have an opportunity to clinch the series in front of their own fans after a narrow 2-1 victory. Dallas’ defenseman Esa Lindell will always remember this game as he scored his first ever NHL playoff goal, which put the Stars 2-0 up in the second period.
That's career #StanleyCup Playoff goal No. 1 for Esa Lindell!

Sibling rivalry
The Boston Bruins are returning home following a 4-1 win over Columbus Blue Jackets in Game 4, and one of the most interesting moments from that game is this fight over the arm rest between siblings in the stands.
Fighting over the arm rest is peak sibling rivalry. 🤣 #StanleyCup pic.twitter.com/hIU3XVRTCK
