As the Caps, New York Rangers, New Jersey Devils and Carolina Hurricanes prepare for game seven tonight, the rest of the playoff teams are awaiting the second round. The match-ups are set out in the Western Conference, while the results of tonight's games will determine the Eastern Conference pairings.
If the higher-seeded Caps and Devils win, then they will face each other in the next round (with the Pittsburgh Penguins facing the Boston Bruins). However, if the Caps and 'Canes win then the NHL will get what it wants (Caps-Penguins) while the 'Canes would face the Bruins. Conversely, if the Rangers win, they would face Boston regardless of what happens in the Devils-Carolina game tonight.
The second-round match-ups in the West are Detroit-Anaheim and Vancouver-Chicago.
No word on any game times but it's sure to be announced late tonight or early tomorrow.
