The first matchup of the day was Ethan "Polgz" Kerr-Polgar versus Dany-Karl "Deeks" Levesque, with Polgz representing the Toronto Maple Leafs and Deeks representing the Montreal Canadiens. 

After a back and forth game one with one multiple lead changes Polgz secured the win 6-4. He followed it up with a 4-2 win, capitalizing off of some bad turnovers from Deeks to secure a spot in the finals.
