Week 7 of the 2016 Major League Soccer season saw F.C. Dallas go three points clear in the MLS overall standings, and the New York Red Bulls slump to their sixth defeat in seven games.

Three of the four series carded Sunday take the ice for Game 3 of their sets. The Detroit Red Wings are back home, down 2-0 to the Tampa Bay Lightning, while the Chicago Blackhawks and New York Islanders look to take 2-1 advantages playing in their own rinks.

Game 2 is slated on four fronts in the Stanley Cup playoffs Saturday. The Los Angeles Kings look to rebound from a shaky showing in their opener against San Jose, while the New York Rangers hope that all-star goalie Henrik Lundqvist is good to go against Pittsburgh.

Four more Stanley Cup series embark tonight. The Los Angeles Kings, Cup champs in 2012 and 2014, get underway, as do this spring's odds-on favorites, the Washington Capitals. As well, two of this season's surprise teams, the Florida Panthers and Dallas Stars, see their first playoff action.

The second season officially gets underway as the Stanley Cup playoffs begin on three fronts, with both of last spring's Cup finalists in action. Eastern Conference champion Tampa Bay play host to Detroit, while defending Cup winners Chicago start a quest for a repeat performance at St. Louis.

There's nothing like the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Favorites are on edge, recognizing how quickly all that hard work they put in during the regular season can go out the window. Generally, there more upsets in the opening round than in any playoff round.
