The first round of  the NHL playoffs begin tonight after the last game of the regular season yesterday, a 4-3 Winnipeg Jets win over the Seattle Kraken. Neither the Jets nor the Kraken, who just finished their inaugural season, made the playoffs. Tonight’s matchups are: Boston at Carolina; Tampa Bay at Toronto; St. Louis at Minnesota; and Los Angeles at Edmonton.

The Cincinnati Reds were blown out 10-1 by the Colorado Rockies for a sixth straight loss yesterday, bringing their record to a dismal 3-19, the worst season start in franchise history. It’s also tied with three other teams for the second-worst start through 22 games in baseball’s Modern Era (since 1900), behind only the 1988 Baltimore Orioles, who began with a 1-21 record.
