A second matchup for the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs confirmed

The playoffs will start on May 2nd, and last night, we got a second matchup confirmed.

Remember that the Minnesota Wild and the St. Louis Blues will battle for a spot in the second round...

Yesterday, the Edmonton Oilers (and former Flyer' Derick Brassard) won easily 5-1 against the Pittsburgh Penguins, which confirmed the fact that Connor McDavid and his teammates will finish in 2nd place in the Pacific Division. At the same time, the Vegas Golden Knights lost in a shootout against the Dallas Stars. Peter DeBoer's players cannot rejoin the 3rd place in the division, held by the Los Angeles Kings, who also clinched their ticket to the playoffs.

Thus, the Oilers and the Kings will meet in the first round.



Edmonton won the season series between the two teams. Will this have an impact in less than a week? We'll see.
