Stanley Cup Playoffs round-by-round preview

Share

The regular season is over, and now the Chase for the Cup begins.

After a dominant regular season in which they finished with 21 points more than any other team, the Tampa Bay Lightning will look to bring home their first Stanley Cup in 15 years, though they face stiff competition in the East. Five other conference rivals finished with 100 points or more this season, including the defending champions, the Washington Capitals.

In the West, the Vegas Golden Knights will attempt to duplicate last season's storybook run to the Cup Final, though the Flames, Predators, and Sharks should provide a tough challenge.

The action begins Wednesday night, and Joe Haggerty has a round-by-round preview.
