The Columbus Blue Jackets made the biggest upset of the NHL playoffs as they eliminated Tampa Bay Lightning in four games and their center Matt Duchene is still feeling the effects of the big win and translated his feelings into a song to his baby son. Philipp Grubauer recorded a fantastic save in overtime win over Calgary Flames, while the Golden Knights were mic’d up in Game 4 against San Jose Sharks.
Duchene plays to his son
Matt Duchene, the Columbus Blue Jackets center, shared a video of him playing guitar to his baby son and the baby was delighted with it. He added that his wife was the one who took a video and it was the first time Matt played to his son.

Grubauer with the save of the day
The Colorado Avalanche successfully defended their home ice to gain a 3-1 lead in the series with Calgary Flames and it could be different if magnificent Philipp Grubauer didn’t pull out a fantastic save in overtime.

Keeper returns to his hometown
Florida Panthers defenseman Brady Keeper returned to his hometown of Cross Lake, Manitoba for the first time since he became an NHL player. He encountered a bunch of young fans and gave out some autographs.
Today, Brady Keeper returned to Pimicikamak Cree Nation for the first time as an NHL player. A joyful parade, a thousand autographs later: a hero’s welcome, for the first Cross Lake athlete to make the show. #wfp pic.twitter.com/mCvU74YBP0

Old but gold
Zdeno Chara, Boston Bruins’ defenseman, showed once again that age is just a number as he scored a goal in Game 4 against the Toronto Maple Leafs, helping his team to tie the series. Chara became the second-oldest defenseman in the NHL history to score a goal in the playoffs.
An ageless wonder, indeed. #StanleyCup pic.twitter.com/qiWIWpMf79
