The field of potential Stanley Cup winners continues to dwindle after another team was eliminated from the NHL playoffs on Friday night.
The Calgary Flames, the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, lost and were eliminated as the Colorado Avalanche won their series in five games to advance to the second round. Calgary joins the Tampa Bay Lightning and Pittsburgh Penguins among eliminated teams.
On Saturday, another team could be eliminated, as the St. Louis Blues host the Winnipeg Jets with a 3-2 series lead. The Jets will need back-to-back wins to avoid losing the first-round series.
