Nikolaj Ehlers has yet to resume skating and did not travel to St. Louis. The forward sustained a lower-body injury during a 4-0 win at the Vegas Golden Knights on April 3 after he took pucks off his foot as well as the inside of his leg on two separate plays. He missed two games and then aggravated it April 12, his second game back.

In the Sunday nightcap, the Vegas Golden Knights — the pick favored to win Game 1 by all of The Athletic’s experts — toppled the Minnesota Wild. Brett Howen scored twice, while Tomas Hertl scored once and had an assist. Vegas will look to extend its series lead when it hosts Game 2 at 11 p.m. ET Tuesday.

Max Domi scored at 3:09 of overtime as the Toronto Maple Leafs survived a blown 2-0 lead to defeat the Ottawa Senators 3-2 and go up 2-0 in their first-round playoff series Tuesday night. The winger moved into the offensive zone in the extra period and ripped his first of the post-season upstairs past Linus Ullmark.
