The Vegas Golden Knights pulled a minor upset in Game 1 of their NHL Western Conference semifinal series vs. the Oilers, but the chalk won easily in the other NHL game – Hurricanes in their Game 1 win vs. the Devils – and the lone NBA playoff game with the Celtics routing the 76ers to even their series.
