2. Haula if you hear him
Maybe they should call him Mr. April. Haula plays some of his best hockey in the postseason. He had two points (1 goal, 1 assist) Monday night.

3. Too Sharp for the Wild
Patrick Sharp continues to make a postseason feast out of the Minnesota Wild. He scored a pair of goals against the Wild on Monday night, after having huge games against Minnesota while playing with Chicago in each of the three previous postseasons.
