NHL Playoff Seeding Finalized

The Western Conference playoff bracket began taking shape as the Anaheim Ducks secured their first postseason appearance since 2015, despite their recent 3-5-2 slump over the last ten contests, following the San Jose Sharks’ 3-2 defeat of the Nashville Predators Monday night. Over in the East, the Philadelphia Flyers clinched their initial berth since 2020 after defeating the top-seeded Carolina Hurricanes 3-2 in a shootout, with first-year coach Rick Tocchet guiding the team past the conference leaders. Separately, the Florida Panthers organization announced development plans to launch a new girls travel hockey program, which will begin operations later this year utilizing the team’s current and former training facilities.
