1. Leafs fans celebrate Jay's victory at Scotiabank ArenaOf course, in Toronto the fans wanted their team to win over the Canadiens. But the Torontonians there knew there was another big game coming up involving one of their teams: the Blue Jays. Toronto can eliminate the Yankees and reach the Association Finals. What that's exactly what the Jays didwith a 5-2 victory. And at Scotiabank Arena, fans celebrated this event.First, they celebrated when Nathan Lux hit a single to give the Jays a three-run lead. And they also celebrated late in the game when Jeff Hoffman made a save. Well done to the Leafs for bringing the game to the big screen.

John Schneider's troupe will face the winner of Game 5 between the Mariners and Tigers. The Raptors also won, scoring a hat trick for Toronto.
2. Jack Roslovic will regret his decision to join Edmonton.During the Oilers-Flames game, Elliott Friedman reported some news about Jack Roslovic: The Oilers and his team have begun negotiations. A few minutes later, the informant told us that Roslovic had finally signed. I think he was convinced by Edmonton's two goals in the first period and the 2-0 lead.
We'll pause our game coverage for a moment to let you know. #Oil workers agreed to terms with forward Jack Roslovic on a one-year contract with an AAV of $1.5 million. https://t.co/475rPk9mbW –

At one point in the game, the Oilers even led 3–0. Leon Draisaitl tripled the lead with his 400th career goal.

And now you've seen my subhead: Roslovic must have regretted his contract as the hosts lost the penalty shootout 4-3.
Calgary never gave up. Firstly, Matvey Gridin scored his first goal in the NHL.

And with a draw, Evan Bouchard and Stuart Skinner looked confused. Not for the first time.
A slight miscommunication between Stuart Skinner and Evan Bouchard led to the Flames' tying goal.

But the man who outshone Eichel and Marner was Quinton Byfield. The man who shook Wayne Gretzky's hand before the game ended with a goal and an assist.
Give me a HUGE season for Quinton Byfield this year. pic.twitter.com/SuDNWUZzpp
