New Jersey lost both duels on home ice and headed to New York's Madison Square Garden in a difficult position. The Devils managed the first match on the opponent's ice and stayed in the game for promotion.
Goalkeeper Akira Schmid played a significant role in the 2:1 win in extra time, who conceded the only goal from 36 shots in his debut in the elimination games. Czech goalkeeper Vítek Vaněček watched the match only from the substitutes after two home losses.

Less than 24 minutes into regulation, Mike Amadio took advantage of a mistake by defender Dylan Samberg to give the Gold Knigts a 2-1 lead for the games. Vegas forward Jack Eichel scored three points.
Colorado decided to win on the ice of Seattle in the third period. The Avalanche scored three goals in the final twenty minutes and went on to win 6:4. Mikko Rantanen and Nathan MacKinnon led the victory with two goals each.
