The puck is nearly set to drop on another grueling postseason in the NHL. Just 16 teams remain with a shot at hoisting the Stanley Cup, and nearly every series is as unpredictable as possible.
Out West, the St. Louis Blues and Anaheim Ducks hope to continue strong seasons to this point. Both No. 1 seeds have aspirations of winning the Stanley Cup in May. For the Blues, it would be the first since joining the league in 1967.
On the East Coast, several lower seeds are looking to pull off upsets. Teams like the Ottawa Senators and New York Islanders are playing great hockey but will have to get past the Montreal Canadiens and Washington Capitals to advance.
