East Division champion Raiders oust rival Blades in Game 4, move on to Eastern Conference Championship -
The Raiders have lived up to their nickname. With a 5-3 win on the road against the rival Saskatoon Blades, Prince Albert has secured a sweep and punched its ticket to the 2026 Eastern Conference Championship. With three quick goals from Braeden Cootes, Maddix McCagherty, and Matyas Man, the Prince Albert Raiders took a commanding lead and ran with it. 2026 NHL Draft Top Prospect Daxon Rudolph helped pad to the Raiders lead with his fifth of the season, before San Jose Sharks prospect Max Heise added the final dagger in the second frame. While the Raiders have flexed their scoring might throughout the series, it's their defensive stinginess that's taken centre stage. Top 2026 NHL Draft prospect Daxon Rudolph (NHL CSS: 6) and captain Justice Christensen combined for a goal and five assists in Game 1 as Prince Albert rolled to a 6-1 win at a raucous Art Hauser Centre.

Bones Has Beef In Columbus & More Eastern Matchups Get Locked In | Daily Faceoff Live -
Welcome to Daily Faceoff Live! Rick Bowness didn’t hold back. After Game 82, Bowness publicly called out the Columbus Blue Jackets — and now the big question is what changes could be coming in Columbus this summer. We break down what went wrong and which moves could reshape the Blue Jackets heading into next season. In the Western Conference, injury concerns are already creating uncertainty. The Dallas Stars will be without Roope Hintz for Games 1 and 2, and Miro Heiskanen’s status remains unclear. How much does this shift the balance in the Stars vs Wild series — and does Minnesota suddenly become the favorite? We also rank the NHL’s biggest disappointments and debate which teams — Toronto, Winnipeg, Nashville, Detroit, and New Jersey — will look the most different next season. In The Film Room, we take a closer look at key playoff matchups, including Pittsburgh vs Philadelphia and Montreal vs Tampa Bay. Which teams hold the biggest advantages, and what will it take for underdogs
