Brock Nelson scored twice Sunday night for the New York Islanders, who took a commanding lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals by beating the Philadelphia Flyers, 3-2, in Game 4 in Toronto.

Jean-Gabriel Pageau scored the tiebreaking goal in the third period for the sixth-seeded Islanders, who seized a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.

Max Pacioretty had two goals, including the game-winner, and one assist to lead Vegas to a victory over Vancouver in Edmonton.

The win gives the Knights a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven Western Conference semifinals.

The Golden Knights had single-goal efforts from Chandler Stephenson, Nate Schmidt and William Karlsson. The Canucks got a goal each from Elias Pettersson, Bo Horvat and Tyler Toffoli. J.T. Miller assisted on all three Canucks goals, and Quinn Hughes added two assists.

Stars 5, Avalanche 4

Radek Faksa had a goal and two assists, and John Klingberg and Roope Hintz each added a goal and an assist, as Dallas took a 3-1 lead over Colorado in their best-of-seven series, coming away with a 5-4 victory in the second round of the Western Conference playoffs at Rogers (NYSE:ROG) Place in Edmonton.

Denis Gurianov and Jamie Benn also scored goals and Anton Khudobin finished with 33 saves for Dallas, which can clinch a spot in the Western Conference finals with a win in Game 5 on Monday night.
