The playoffs are set to begin Wednesday night April 15th. The regular season was a grind of 82 games which all leads up to this moment. 16 teams will face-off for the honor of winning the coveted Lord Stanley's Cup. The playoffs are an entire other season. For each team there is a possibility of maybe 16 more games to be played with the promise of at least 4. The teams and matchups have been set. Here are the first round matchups, and my predictions.

#1 Boston Bruins #3 New Jersey Devils
#8 Montreal Canadiens #6 Carolina Hurricanes
Bruins in 5 games Carolina in 7 games
#2 Washington Rangers #4 Pittsburgh Penguins
#7 New York Rangers #5 Philadelphia Flyers
Washington in 6 games Pittsburgh in 6 games
Western Confrence

#8 Anaheim Mighty Ducks #6 St. Louis Blues
