Top Record in Conference
____ President’s Trophy Winner
^ Wild Card

The team who wins 16 games (4 best of 7 series) will win the Stanley Cup. In this representation, the winning team’s pony will become an alicorn.

There are a few special notes here:

The Winnipeg Jets will not just play in their first playoff series since their relocation from Atlanta occurred in 2011; it is also their first playoff series since the original team (which played from 1972 to 1996) relocated to Phoenix in 1996 after losing to the Detroit Red Wings.
Both teams in this series finished the season with 101 points, and won two of their four games at home. The Capitals won their season series with the Islanders, 6 points to 5, by losing one extra game in overtime, bringing their point total to 101.5 and granting them home advantage in this series. If both teams were tied at exactly 5 or 6 points in the season series, the Capitals would also have home advantage based on total goal differential (+39 to +22). The last time that a playoff series occurred between these two teams was in 1993.
The Boston Bruins and the Los Angeles Kings, the regular season and Stanley Cup champions from last season, failed to qualify for the playoffs. The Kings were eliminated when the Flames won their final regular season matchup against them, while the Bruins were eliminated on the final day of the regular season when the Penguins won their final regular season matchup against the Buffalo Sabres, who have the best chance to win the draft lottery.
