The Stanley Cup Playoffs got underway Saturday with a matchup between the Nos. 2 and 3 seeds out of the East Division. The No. 2 Washington Capitals pulled out a 3-2 overtime victory over the No. 3 Boston Bruins, taking a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.
That was the only contest that took place on the first day of the postseason. Now, things will really start to pick up Sunday, when there are three Game 1 matchups on tap. And by the end of the week, all 16 teams in the playoff field will have started what each hopes will be a run to the Stanley Cup.
