It’s down to the wire in the NHL playoffs, and only a few teams are still fighting for the Stanley Cup. Who’s left in the running, and who’s going to take home the coveted trophy?
The NHL playoffs are down to the final four teams.
The NHL playoffs are down to the final four teams. In the Eastern Conference, the Boston Bruins will take on the Carolina Hurricanes. In the Western Conference, the San Jose Sharks will take on the St. Louis Blues.
The Bruins are the favorites to win the Stanley Cup, but the Hurricanes have been playing great hockey and they could be a tough matchup. The Sharks and Blues are both strong teams, but it’s hard to know who will come out on top in that series.
Whoever wins, it’s going to be a great series of games.
The Tampa Bay Lightning are the defending Stanley Cup champions.
The Tampa Bay Lightning are the defending Stanley Cup champions. They are currently in the process of defending their title, and are currently in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Lightning are currently facing off against the Boston Bruins, who are also one of the top teams in the NHL.

The Boston Bruins are the top seed in the Eastern Conference. They will face the eighth-seeded Carolina Hurricanes in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
The Hurricanes are led by forward Sebastian Aho, who scored 30 goals and had 83 points in 82 games this season. Aho will be a tough test for the Bruins’ defense, which is led by captain Zdeno Chara.

The Colorado Avalanche are the top seed in the Western Conference.
The Colorado Avalanche are the top seed in the Western Conference. They’re playing the fifth-seeded Los Angeles Kings, who upset the Vegas Golden Knights in the first round. The Avalanche are looking to return to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 2001, when they won it all.
