The second round of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs features all four division winners and three of the four teams that finished second in their division during the regular season.

The lone exception is the Colorado Avalanche, who were third in the tightly-contested Central Division. They knocked off the second-place Winnipeg Jets in the first round and will face the top team in the Central, and entire Western Conference, the Dallas Stars in Round 2.

The Stars rallied from down 2-0 to eliminate the defending Stanley Cup champion Vegas Golden Knights, winning Game 7 on home ice, 2-1. Dallas was one of two teams that had to win a Game 7 to reach the second round of these playoffs. The Boston Bruins also did so, after losing Games 5 and 6 to the Toronto Maple Leafs. David Pastrnak scored early in overtime in Game 7 to send the Bruins into the second round against the well-rested Florida Panthers.

The Panthers were one of four teams to win their first series in five games, along with the Carolina Hurricanes, Edmonton Oilers and Avalanche. The New York Rangers, who won the Presidents’ Trophy as the best NHL regular-season team, were the only team to advance in a sweep, taking out the Washington Capitals in four straight games.

Now, let’s look ahead to the second round.
