Good morning, Buffalo Sabres fans. This weekend, we saw several of the first-round NHL playoff series come to a close, with just a few more still to be determined.
In the Western Conference, the Minnesota Wild eliminated the St. Louis Blues in six games; while the Chicago Blackhawks did the same to the Nashville Predators. The Anaheim Ducks, of course, already swept the Winnipeg Jets, and the Calgary Flames knocked out the Vancouver Canucks in six games as well.
In the Eastern Conference, the Montreal Canadiens eliminated the Ottawa Senators in six games, and the New York Rangers knocked out the Pittsburgh Penguins in five games.
