Your journey awaits...Click here for today's May video with Mover and Shaker Charles Ferri, godfather of The Hudson House Distillery.

The Distillery at Hudson House

Our craft distillery is located in the cellar of a former monastery and uses custom made equipment from Kothe distilling systems in Germany.

Part of what makes our spirits so special is the water from an onsite old artesian well that taps into a Catskill aquifer. As that water travels to Hudson House, it passes over limestone creating our naturally soft mineral water we call our "Holy Water" which is used in all of our craft spirits.

We use select New York State grains supporting local farms for our spirit production in small batches. Our portfolio consists of Black Creek Bourbon, Black Creek Empire Rye, Black Creek Aniversario Bourbon, Black Creek Devil’s Cut and Altair Vodka. Keep on the look out for our latest releases including a New York State Gin.

A Historic Waterfront Property

In the 1850’s, Archibald Russell, a known philanthropist and founder of Ulster County Savings in Kingston, built a home for his family on an estate known as Glen Albyn. Archibald died in 1871 and his widow, Helen, sold the Glen Albyn estate to the Durkee family in 1885. The Durkee’s were proprietors of one of the country’s leading spice businesses and eventually condiment producers. They purchased the property as a wedding gift for their daughter and owned it until it was purchased in the 1920’s by the Christian Brotherhood and for the next 100+ years, the historic estate served as a working monastery known as the Santa Maria Novitiate.

We are proud to be the 4th owner in over 170 years, and equally proud to introduce, The Hudson House & Distillery. We have committed to restore and maintain the property’s natural beauty in keeping with the original Italian Villa Revival style of architecture. We encourage you to explore the old buildings and truly experience this unique and special property in the heart of Hudson Valley.

Last night, the ABAA New York International Antiquarian Book Fair (NYIABF) – officially sanctioned by the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America (ABAA) and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB), and produced by Sanford L. Smith + Associates – returned to the Park Avenue Armory for its 66th edition, welcoming collectors, curators, tastemakers and bibliophiles for an exclusive VIP preview.

Attendance reached 2,400 on opening night, surpassing last year’s record of 1,900 by 20% and marking the highest opening night attendance in the fair’s history. Guests moved through presentations from 174 exhibitors from around the world, encountering rare books, manuscripts, maps and cultural artifacts spanning centuries, reaffirming the fair’s reputation as the leading international event of its kind.

Early reports from exhibitors indicate a dynamic opening night, with Ursus Rare Books noting that the fair was “really well attended but never felt overcrowded,” alongside strong sales across categories.

Patti Smith and Michael Stipe

Opening night transactions were reported widely. Johnnycake Books sold a framed poster of Andy Warhol’s iconic 1964 Marilyn Monroe image, produced for the Tate’s 1972 exhibition in London. Honey & Wax Booksellers highlighted a $10,000 first edition of W. B. Yeats’s Michael Robartes and the Dancer (1920), written during the Irish War of Independence, as a standout sale of the evening. Imperial Fine Books reported the sale of an extra-illustrated set of George Washington’s writings, as well as a first edition of Ireland’s Life of Napoleon accompanied by a note signed by Napoleon Bonaparte. Christian White Rare Books noted the sale of a bound collection of 1790s Thomas Paine pamphlets for $4,500.

Michael Laird Rare Books reported approximately $15,000 in pre-reserved material, along with a significant walk-in sale to a new collector, who acquired a set of unpublished watercolors depicting the frescoes of the Casino Felice in Rome. Schubertiade Music & Arts also reported strong early sales, including Frank Zappa’s leather jacket within the first half hour, as well as a rare carte-de-visite of a Civil War Black regiment drummer—featured on the cover of this year’s catalogue. The gallery also noted strong enthusiasm for Joe Brainard, with key works from its dedicated fair catalogue placed early. Liber Antiquus, Early Books & Manuscripts reported multiple sales, including an album of 22 vellum miniatures depicting figures from 17th-century Italian society. John W. Knott, Jr., Bookseller noted sustained interest throughout the evening, with sales continuing through the close of the preview.

This year’s fair continues to reflect a broadening audience, with a notable presence of younger collectors and guests from across disciplines - including design, fashion, film and the culinary arts - underscoring the expanding cultural relevance of rare books and works on paper.

The NYIABF Ambassador Program also returned, bringing together a diverse group of collectors, creatives and cultural figures who help connect the fair to new audiences. This year’s Ambassadors include Founding Ambassador Jesse Paris Smith joined by Alexandre Assouline, Sasha Bonét, Isabella Boylston, Adam Eli, Meredith Graves, Levi Higgs, Connor Holloway, Sarah Hoover, Sarah McNally, Camille Okhio, Karah Preiss and Emma Roberts.

#NHLPeachy @NHL #NHLStats Pack: Lightning Evade Elimination in Overtime to Force 7 vs. Canadiens

Sunday, May 3, 2026

Game 7 History

* This will be the 202nd Game 7 in Stanley Cup Playoffs history and first to be guaranteed in 2026.

* There has been at least one Game 7 in the first best-of-seven round in 22 of the past 24 postseasons (including 2026). There were multiple Game 7s in the First Round each year from 2021 to 2025.

* There have been at least three Game 7s in 18 consecutive playoff years (from 2008 to 2025).

* Three of the past six Stanley Cup champions required a Game 7 win along the way: Florida in the Second Round last year as well as the 2024 Final, and Tampa Bay in the 2021 Stanley Cup Semifinals.

* Since all rounds went to best-of-seven in 1987, six eventual Stanley Cup champions required a Game 7 in the opening round (2014 LAK, 2011 BOS, 1992 PIT, 1991 PIT, 1990 EDM & 1989 CGY).

Game 7 History – Tampa Bay and Montreal

* This will be the first Game 7 between the Lightning and Canadiens. It will be the 129th unique Game 7 matchup in Stanley Cup Playoffs history (Game 7 in UTA-VGK would add to the count).

* The Lightning own the highest winning percentage in Game 7s among franchises that have contested more than five in their history, taking a .700 mark into their 11th all-time Game 7 (7-3 in 10 GP). The Lightning are 4-1 in Game 7s at home, with an .800 winning percentage in that scenario ranking tied for third among clubs that have hosted at least three (NYR: .889; SJS: .833; EDM: .800). Of note, Vegas could host one Sunday.

* The Canadiens will contest their 25th all-time Game 7 (15-9 in 24 GP) and 14th on the road (7-6 in 13 GP). Montreal can tie Boston (16) for the most Game 7 wins in Stanley Cup Playoffs history and extend their own benchmark for Game 7 road victories.

* Nine players who played for Tampa Bay in its last Game 7 (2022 R1 at TOR) have skated in this series: Erik Cernak, Anthony Cirelli, Brandon Hagel, Nikita Kucherov, Ryan McDonagh, Nick Paul, Corey Perry, Brayden Point and Andrei Vasilevskiy. Victor Hedman also played in that contest.

* Seven players who skated for Montreal in its last Game 7 (2021 R1 at TOR) are part of this series: Canadiens teammates Josh Anderson, Cole Caufield, Phillip Danault, Jake Evans, Brendan Gallagher and Nick Suzuki, plus now-Lightning forward Corey Perry.

* Montreal has required overtime in six Game 7s (3-3), including twice on the road (0-2). Their victories were in the 1992 Division Semifinals (vs. HFD), 1986 Division Finals (vs. HFD) and 1979 Semifinals (vs. BOS) and their defeats in the 2011 Conference Quarterfinals (at BOS), 1985 Division Finals (vs. QUE) and 1954 Stanley Cup Final (at DET). Tampa Bay has yet to play overtime in a Game 7.

* Tampa Bay has had 70% of its Game 7s decided by one goal (7 of 10; 5-2 record), while Montreal has had 10 of its Game 7s resolved that way (10 of 24; 5-5 record).

* Six Game 7s involving the Lightning have been shutouts (4 wins, 2 losses), while Montreal has been involved in three Game 7 shutouts (all wins).

Players and Head Coaches in Game 7s

Based on active roster (excluding Injury Reserve List).

* Twenty-three players in this series have played in a Game 7 during the Stanley Cup Playoffs (TBL: 13; MTL: 10), for a total of 64 appearances in Game 7s (TBL: 52; MTL: 12). Tampa Bay players have a combined 32-20 team record in Game 7s, compared to a 7-5 mark for Montreal players. Lightning skaters have accumulated 11-8—19 in Game 7s while Canadiens skaters have 1-4—5. Of note, Victor Hedman (who has practiced during this series) is excluded from the counts above along with others on the IR. Hedman has one assist and a 5-3 record in eight career Game 7s.

* Corey Perry (4-2—6 in 11 GP; 5-6 record) has more points and nearly as many appearances in Game 7s as the entire Canadiens roster (1-4—5 in 12 GP). Perry, who has the most Game 7 appearances by any player in these playoffs, would become the 12th to play in a dozen Game 7s (among skaters and goaltenders) – which he has done across five clubs. Perry skated in the most recent Game 7 for both the Lightning (2022 R1 at TOR) and Canadiens (2021 R1 at TOR), with his last point in a Game 7 coming during his 2021 appearance with Montreal (GWG).

* Ryan McDonagh (0-1—1 in 10 GP; 8-2 record) also has nearly as much Game 7 experience on his own as the entire Montreal squad. McDonagh can set a new Stanley Cup Playoffs record for most career Game 7 wins as a player (skater or goaltender) and match Peter DeBoer (9) for the most all-time including players and head coaches.

* Two Canadiens players have multiple Game 7s: Brendan Gallagher (1-2—3 in 2 GP; 2-0 record) and Phillip Danault (0-1—1 in 2 GP; 1-1 record). The only other Montreal player with a point in Game 7 is captain Nick Suzuki (0-1—1 in 1 GP; 1-0 record).

* Four players in this series have a winning goal in a Game 7: Oliver Bjorkstrand (2023 R1 w/ SEA at COL), Nick Paul (2022 R1 w/ TBL at TOR), Yanni Gourde (2021 SCSF w/ TBL vs. NYI) and Corey Perry (2021 R1 w/ MTL at TOR). Bjorkstrand has at least one goal in both his Game 7 appearances and can join a list that currently includes nine players who have tallied in each of their first three or more such contests.

* Andrei Vasilevskiy (2-2 in 4 GP) can become the third active goaltender with at least three Game 7 wins, following Sergei Bobrovsky (3-0) and Jake Oettinger (3-1). Of note, Jonathan Quick (4-1; retired) and Carey Price (3-1; LTIR) are excluded from this measure.

* Andrei Vasilevskiy (.945 SV% & 1.51 GAA in 4 GP) ranks fifth for career save percentage in Game 7s (min. 4 GP; since 1956) behind Henrik Lundqvist (.961 in 8 GP), Ken Wregget (.954 in 4 GP), Carey Price (.950 in 4 GP) and Jake Oettinger (.950 in 4 GP). Vasilevskiy’s career Game 7 goals-against average of 1.51 is tied with Wregget for fourth all-time (again min. 4 GP) behind Lundqvist (1.11), Nikolai Khabibulin (1.40 in 4 GP) and Price (1.47).

* Andrei Vasilevskiy (1 SO) can match the Stanley Cup Playoffs record for career Game 7 shutouts (Patrick Roy, Curtis Joseph, Tim Thomas and Ben Bishop: all w/ 2).

* Jakub Dobes can become the eighth different rookie to play any winner-take-all for the Canadiens and sixth to contest a Game 7. Montreal rookie goaltenders have a combined 6-4 record across their 10 previous winner-take-all contests (5-2 in Game 7s). The Game 7 appearances: Carey Price (5-0 W in 2008 CQF vs. BOS), Patrick Roy (2-1 OT W in 1986 DF vs. HFD), Steve Penney (3-2 OT L in 1985 DF vs. QUE), Ken Dryden (3-2 W in 1971 SCF at CHI & 4-2 W in 1971 QF at BOS) and Jacques Plante (3-1 L in 1955 SCF at DET & 4-1 W in 1953 SF vs. CHI). Dryden (2x) and Plante are the only Montreal rookie goaltenders to play a Game 7 on the road.

* The last rookie goaltender to play a Game 7 for any team was Arturs Silovs (3-2 L in 2024 R2 w/ VAN vs. EDM) and the last to win was Akira Schmid (4-0 W in 2023 R1 w/ NJD vs. NYR). The last rookie goaltender to play a Game 7 for any team on the road was Jeremy Swayman (3-2 L in 2022 R1 w/ BOS at CAR) and the last to win on the road was Jordan Binnington (4-1 W in 2019 SCF w/ STL at BOS). Overall, rookie goaltenders are 31-34 in Game 7s (plus five no decisions), including a 14-17 mark on the road (plus four no decisions).

* Jon Cooper (4-2 in 6 GC) can become the first head coach in Stanley Cup Playoffs history to win at least five Game 7s with one franchise. He would break a tie with Bob Hartley (4 w/ COL), Tommy Ivan (4 w/ DET), Claude Julien (4 w/ BOS) and Darryl Sutter (4 w/ LAK). Cooper will be the fourth head coach to guide one club in seven Game 7s: Julien (9 w/ BOS), Hartley (7 w/ COL) and Mike Babcock (7 w/ DET).

* Martin St. Louis logged two assists and a 6-2 record in eight career Game 7s as a player, with half of each of those totals coming with the Lightning (0-1—1, 3-1 record in 4 GP). He will become the fifth head coach to face a team in a Game 7 after playing in one for that club, following Tom Johnson (MTL), Jimmy Roberts (MTL), Billy Reay (MTL) and Al MacNeil (CHI).

#FashionAlert #LizClaiborne #50Years She Changed Fashion First.

JCPenney celebrates the 50th anniversary of the original trailblazer who democratized women’s fashion

This May, as the world is captivated by fictional fashion moguls, JCPenney celebrates 50 years of real, bold, timeless style and the designer who made modern women’s fashion accessible to all – Liz Claiborne.

She did something revolutionary in 1976: she stopped waiting for permission. She took a vision and created the first female-founded Fortune 500 company. She didn't decide what women wanted. She asked what women actually needed.

"Liz Claiborne didn't just build a company; she started a movement. She understood that confidence is every woman’s right, not something unobtainable for the few,” said Michelle Wlazlo, Chief Executive Officer of JCPenney.Share

She looked at closets filled with false choices and compromises: power or femininity, luxury or accessibility, the boardroom or real life...and rejected every single one. She designed for a woman who had to be three versions of herself in one day, and she made clothes that could move with her. A blazer wasn't just a garment; it was a bold statement.

She understood that gatekeeping style was gatekeeping power, so she did the radical thing: she democratized it. She demanded department stores display her brand as complete collections, not parceled pieces – which became the standard. She listed her employees alphabetically to circumvent traditional, male hierarchies.

She proved that quality, comfort, style and accessibility were not opposing forces. They are inevitable partners. Her fashion has moved through generations, worn by women who perhaps didn't even know how iconic the name on the label was.

She was the original girl boss. The small but mighty woman behind the iconic glasses who broke corporate glass ceilings. The one who championed timeless style and confidence for half a century first. And no, it wasn’t that fashion editor.

It was Liz Claiborne.

This May, as the world is captivated by fictional fashion moguls, JCPenney celebrates 50 years of real, bold, timeless style and the designer who made modern women’s fashion accessible to all. Because the most powerful fashion story isn’t written in fiction or up on the screen, it’s written every day by the women who wear Liz Claiborne and yes, JCPenney.

As the exclusive retailer of Liz Claiborne since 2009, JCPenney didn’t just recognize her impact, but instead built on her legacy – elevating her vision across every category, making her one of the retailer’s top selling women’s brands. From petite to plus sizes, across apparel, home, shoes, accessories and fragrance, Liz Clairborne has become one of JCPenney’s most trusted heritage brands, earning more than 5,000 five-star customer reviews. For over 15 years, JCPenney has been the platform where Liz's original promise – that style, quality, and accessibility belong to everyone – continues to thrive and evolve.

"Liz Claiborne didn't just build a company; she started a movement.

#PetitePeachy The 1776 United Coalition Announces the Protect Our Children Award

The 1776 United Coalition has announced the launch of the Protect Our Children Award, a prestigious new honor recognizing leaders who have demonstrated exceptional courage and leadership in protecting children and defending American families.

The 1776 United Coalition, a prominent organization dedicated to safeguarding life and championing the freedoms of all Americans, proudly announces the establishment of the prestigious Protect Our Children Award - one of the most esteemed recognitions in public service, reserved for leaders who have demonstrated extraordinary courage in defending our most vulnerable when it mattered most.

The numbers are staggering - and they demand a response. According to the FBI, every 40 seconds a child goes missing or is abducted in the United States. An estimated 460,000 children are reported missing every year - and experts believe that figure only scratches the surface of the true scale of the crisis. What are we doing as a nation to protect our kids?

Those who receive this award will stand the test of time. When future generations look back at this moment in American history - the recipients of the Protect Our Children Award will be remembered as true heroes who put the safety of children above all else.

As America marks its 250th year as a sovereign nation, there is no more important time to reaffirm our commitment to protecting that sovereignty and safeguarding the next generation of Americans. As our nation works to recover from the devastation left behind, the leaders who fought back - who refused to stay silent and put children above politics - deserve the highest recognition.

With the midterms on the horizon, voters are watching closely. Nothing moves the needle like the safety of our families and the security of our southern border. They want to know who stood up - and who stood down.

The Protect Our Children Award represents the gold standard of that recognition. Each presentation is accompanied by a charitable donation in the recipient's honor to Safe House Project, a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) that has served over 2,700 trafficking survivors, trained more than 400,000 people to identify and report trafficking, and created 624 emergency safe house spaces across the United States.

Those who receive this award will stand the test of time. When future generations look back at this moment in American history - at the crisis that unfolded, and the leaders who refused to look away - the recipients of the Protect Our Children Award will be remembered for exactly what they are: true heroes who put the safety of children above all else. That is a legacy worth fighting for.

Further details regarding upcoming award presentations will be announced in the coming weeks.

#PilotPeachy #FloridaPeachy #JetBlue Steps in to Help Stranded Spirit Customers with $99 Rescue Fares, Announces Plans to Add 11 Destinations From Fort Lauderdale

Plan reflects JetBlue’s long-term commitment to South Florida and ensures continued connectivity for customers

JetBlue (Nasdaq: JBLU) today announced it is stepping in to support Spirit customers and team members affected by the airline’s shutdown.JetBlue is offering $99 rescue fares to assist stranded travelers with immediate travel planned

JetBlue will cap fares to ensure affordable rebooking options remain available as more travelers look to rebook and demand increases.

JetBlue will significantly expand its presence at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) with 11 new cities to help backfill critical service and allow customers to continue to see a strong selection of flights and destinations.

JetBlue will extend its jumpseat agreement for Spirit pilots and flight attendants trying to get home and offer interview opportunities for open roles at JetBlue.

“This is really tough news for the thousands of Spirit team members affected, as well as the customers who were planning trips on Spirit,” said Joanna Geraghty, chief executive officer, JetBlue. “We got to know many of their crewmembers during our acquisition talks, and we’re thinking about everyone whose lives are being disrupted. We want to help fill the void created by this loss.”

$99 Rescue Fares to Help Stranded Travelers Get Home

To assist stranded Spirit customers with imminent travel, JetBlue is offering $99 one-way fares to individuals with proof of a valid Spirit itinerary for the same route (or co-located airport) for travel through Wednesday, May 6¹. These customers should call 1-800-JETBLUE to discuss their situation.

“With major operations in Fort Lauderdale and San Juan, we’re in a unique position to help Spirit customers get where they need to go and ensure flights remain affordable despite greater demand,” said Geraghty. “We understand how unsettling it may be for travelers who are suddenly unsure of what to do next.”

Beginning May 1, 2026, JetBlue will also cap all Blue Basic fares at $299 on JetBlue-operated nonstop routes to and from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) and San Juan, Puerto Rico’s Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) that were also operated by Spirit as of April.¹ The fare caps will apply to new itinerary purchases made through May 8, 2026, for travel between May 2, 2026 and May 8, 2026.

“While JetBlue always offers a great experience at an everyday low fare, the fare cap is designed to help customers avoid higher last-minute prices as more people book alternative travel.”

Fort Lauderdale and San Juan are both JetBlue focus cities, and JetBlue is the largest airline in both cities, offering an extensive route network. These two cities have also been among Spirit’s busiest markets, meaning travelers there may experience significant disruption from the sudden loss of service. JetBlue is stepping in where the need is greatest and where the airline has the scale and reach to provide meaningful support.

JetBlue will continue to monitor demand and operational capacity and may adjust based on customer needs.

Taking Care of Spirit Team Members

JetBlue also recognizes that some Spirit pilots and flight attendants may be stranded following the airline’s shutdown. To support crewmembers during this challenging time, JetBlue will extend its jumpseat agreement for the next two weeks, subject to space availability and limited to cabin seating. In addition, the airline plans to offer interview opportunities to qualified Spirit team members impacted by the shutdown.

Stepping Up Service in Fort Lauderdale

In addition to capping fares, JetBlue is adding new service to further expand options for customers in Fort Lauderdale. The additional flying builds on JetBlue’s role as Fort Lauderdale’s largest airline and reflects the carrier’s commitment to providing its award-winning service and competitive fares for South Florida travelers during a period of meaningful change in the market.

With this expansion, JetBlue is offering its largest ever schedule from Fort Lauderdale, ensuring customers continue to have access to the destinations they rely on, whether traveling for leisure, business, or visiting friends and family.

JetBlue expects to operate nearly 130 daily departures from Fort Lauderdale this summer, marking the largest operation in the airline’s history from the airport - over 75% more daily flights than 2025.

“South Florida is a key market for JetBlue, and we recognize this is a challenging moment for many travelers,” said Geraghty. “Our focus is on stepping up in the near term by adding service, maintaining connectivity, and keeping fares competitive, so customers can continue to travel with confidence.”

With this announcement, the airline will launch the following new JetBlue cities with nonstop service to Fort Lauderdale:

Fort Lauderdale was JetBlue’s first destination, and today the airline already offers an extensive domestic and international network from FLL, serving destinations across the U.S., Latin America, and the Caribbean. The addition of 27 flights represents a meaningful increase in flying that leverages JetBlue’s existing scale, crews, and infrastructure in South Florida.

The growth reflects JetBlue’s broader network strategy and its ability to responsibly add flying where demand exists and where the airline can operate reliably. The expanded schedule also supports JetBlue’s JetForward strategy, which centers on building the best East Coast leisure network with Fort Lauderdale as a key gateway.

Capped fares are available starting May 1, 2026. The new routes and frequencies announced today will be available to book starting Monday evening, May 4, 2026, at jetblue.com and the JetBlue mobile app.

#NHLPeachy @NHL NHL Morning Skate: Stanley Cup Playoffs Edition – May 1, 2026

* Quinn Hughes helped the Wild earn their first series win since 2015 and advance to the Second Round of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs, where they’ll meet the Avalanche. Hughes is set to face fellow decorated defenseman Cale Makar in the postseason for the first time.

* Cutter Gauthier scored the series-clinching goal and helped Anaheim advance to the Second Round for the first time since 2017 as it now awaits the winner of the Utah-Vegas series.

* Friday’s schedule features the Lightning, Bruins and Mammoth all looking to force a Game 7 in their First Round series.

* The 2026 NHL Draft Lottery Interactive Information Guide is now available on the League’s Media site. The event will be conducted at NHL Network’s Secaucus, N.J., studio on May 5.

Hughes has clinching goal, three points as Wild win first series since 2015

Quinn Hughes (2-1—3) had the go-ahead goal with 9:22 remaining in regulation and Matt Boldy buried two empty-netters as the Wild snapped a lengthy losing streak in opening-round series by winning their first since a six-game victory versus the Blues during the 2015 First Round.

* Hughes tied the franchise record for most points in a potential closeout contest and became the first defenseman in club history with a series-clinching goal. Forwards Justin Fontaine (Game 6 of 2015 R1), Nino Niederreiter (Game 7 of 2014 R1), Darby Hendrickson (Game 7 of 2003 CSF) and Andrew Brunette (Game 7 of 2003 CQF) account for the other four.

* Hughes was traded to the Wild from the Canucks in a blockbuster deal on Dec. 12, 2025. Other notable instances of defensemen acquired mid-season with a clinching goal in the first series with their new team include Tampa Bay’s Braydon Coburn (Game 7 of 2015 R1), Philadelphia’s Danny Markov (Game 5 of 2004 CQF), Edmonton’s Janne Niinimaa (Game 7 of 1998 CQF) and Pittsburgh’s Norm MacIver (Game 7 of 1995 CQF).

* The Wild and Avalanche will play their fourth head-to-head playoff series following seven-game wins by Minnesota in the 2014 First Round and 2003 Conference Quarterfinals as well as a six-game victory by Colorado during the 2008 Conference Quarterfinals. Jared Spurgeon capped the last series by scoring the tying tally with 2:27 remaining in regulation before Niederreiter’s overtime clincher in Game 7.

* Hughes and Cale Makar are set to play the fifth series in NHL history involving James Norris Memorial Trophy winners from each of the last two seasons pitted against each other. The others featured Detroit and Anaheim (Nicklas Lidstrom & Scott Niedermayer in 2007 CF), Detroit and St. Louis (Lidstrom & Chris Pronger in 2002 CSF), Montreal and Boston (Chris Chelios & Ray Bourque in 1990 DF) as well as Montreal and Detroit (Doug Harvey & Red Kelly in 1956 SCF).

DUCKS ADVANCE TO SECOND ROUND, WIN FIRST PLAYOFF SERIES SINCE 2017

The Ducks got out to an early 3-1 lead in the first period and never looked back as they defeated the Oilers in six games and advanced to the Second Round, where they’ll face the winner of the Mammoth-Golden Knights series.

* Among franchises to end a playoff drought of five or more consecutive years, Anaheim became the fourth team to eliminate a Stanley Cup champion or Stanley Cup finalist. The others: 2019 Hurricanes (R1 vs. WSH), 2017 Oilers (R1 vs. SJS) and 1995 Flyers (CSF vs. NYR).

* Cutter Gauthier (1-1—2) recorded both of his points in the first period and his goal served as the series-deciding tally. Gauthier (22 years, 101 days) became the third-youngest player in Ducks history to score a series-clinching goal, behind only Nick Ritchie (21 years, 156 days in 2017 R2) and Ryan Getzlaf (21 years, 344 days in 2007 CQF).

* Jackson LaCombe (0-1—1) boosted his totals to 1-8—9 to begin his playoff career and established a Ducks record for assists and points by a defenseman in a playoff series. He also became the franchise’s third defenseman to be the team’s outright leader in points for a playoff series, following Sami Vatanen (1-4—5 in 2017 CF) and Chris Pronger (2-4—6 in 2007 CQF).

2025-26 LADY BYNG FINALISTS ANNOUNCED

Cole Caufield, Anze Kopitar and Jake Sanderson are the three finalists for the 2025-26 Lady Byng Memorial Trophy, awarded “to the player adjudged to have exhibited the best type of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of playing ability.” Click here for the full details.

GAME 7 ON THE HORIZON FOR LIGHTNING, BRUINS AND MAMMOTH?

Three games are on tap Friday with each of the Lightning, Bruins and Mammoth looking to avoid elimination and force Game 7 in their respective First Round series against the Canadiens, Sabres and Golden Knights. Teams have combined for four wins to stave off elimination in the 2026 First Round – each opening round since 2021 has featured at least six (most: 11 in 2022 R1).

* Tampa Bay is looking to force a Game 7 for the sixth time in franchise history, following the 2022 First Round, 2015 First Round, 2011 Conference Finals, 2011 Conference Quarterfinals and 2004 Stanley Cup Final. The Lightning have won the series in each scenario except one (2011 CF). Overall, the franchise is 16-14 (.533) in 30 all-time potential elimination games – the second-highest winning percentage in Stanley Cup Playoffs history (min. 5 GP), behind only the Islanders (32-25; .561).

* Boston can force Game 7 after overcoming a 3-1 series deficit for the third time in franchise history (2009 CSF & 2008 CQF) and looks to win a series in that scenario for the first time. David Pastrnak has scored seven goals in his career during Games 6 and 7 and can join Brad Marchand (10), Milan Lucic (10) and David Krejci (9) as the fourth Bruins player with eight or more goals in that scenario.

* The Mammoth can become the 11th franchise in NHL history to require a Game 7 in their first-ever playoff series and second in as many instances, following the Kraken (2023 R1). Seattle has accounted for one of six times a club has won its first-ever series in a Game 7.
