The second round of the NHL playoffs is underway, as eight teams remain to decide this year's Stanley Cup championship.
All year long, the Pacific division was the weakest in the NHL, but someone must advance to the Western Conference Finals from the group. That will come down to the Vegas Golden Knights and Anaheim Ducks, two teams who have never met in the NHL playoffs.
The Golden Knights were able to take care of the Utah Mammoth in six games despite the latter's push. That included a couple overtime games, but head coach John Tortorella got the team through to the second round.
Meanwhile, the Ducks became the first Western Conference team to defeat the Edmonton Oilers in the playoffs since 2023. Anaheim hadn't made the playoffs since 2018, and hadn't won a playoff series since 2017, but ended both those droughts this year.
Vegas won the division so the Golden Knights will have home ice advantage in this series.
