The San Jose Sharks are in the playoffs for the first time. They beat the Detroit Red Wings in a play-in game for the 8th spot in the West. That leaves the Ottawa Senators as the only team to never make the playoffs. However, the Sens are on the rise as they finished with their best record in franchise history, 76-86. Maybe next year will be their year.

The Winnipeg Jets won the President's Trophy with a 100-62 record. They have high hopes to get back to the Stanley Cup Finals for the fourth time, and this time, win. (They are winless in their previous three trips to the Finals.) Also, there is a good chance for an all-Canada Stanley Cup Final as the Quebec Nordiques finished with the East's best mark at 97-65.

The two-time defending Stanley Cup Champion Tampa Bay Lightning finished 5th in the East at 87-76, and will face their in-state rival Florida Panthers in the East Quarterfinals. Another heated rivalry I'm looking at is the Islanders-Devils series.
