Five things to know about the NHL playoffs

The Vancouver Canucks and Edmonton Oilers are set to clash on Wednesday after a two-game slate on Tuesday that saw an overtime and double overtime game.

Here are five things to know entering Wednesday’s post-season action:

ALL-CANADIAN SERIES

Vancouver will host Edmonton for Game 1 of their second-round series.

The all-Canadian series guarantees that a Canadian team will be in the Western Conference finals this season. A Canadian team hasn't won a Stanley Cup since the Montreal Canadiens did so in 1992-93.

Wednesday will mark the first playoff game between Edmonton and Vancouver since 1992, when the Oilers bested the Canucks in a six-game set.
