The NHL playoffs have finally arrived and with it brings five mouth-watering matchups set for Wednesday night. Kicking things off are the Bruins and Senators, who have never met in the playoffs before, but are sure to produce a compelling best-of-seven series.

Two Metropolitan Division rivals will do battle in the opening round of the playoffs as the defending champion Pittsburgh Penguins face the Columbus Blue Jackets in a series that could very well go the distance.

A series that’s been determined for more than a week, the Montreal Canadiens and New York Rangers will clash in a highly-anticipated best-of-seven battle, which begins Wednesday at the Bell Centre.

The NHL regular season is coming to a close but there is still a lot to play for heading into the final week of play. Here's the best underdog bets on Saturday.

We’re heading into the final week of the NHL season, so expect games to tighten up down the stretch as clubs battle for playoff position and home-ice advantage. Among the games to keep an eye on is the Pittsburgh-Columbus matchup, which will feature two of the league’s most potent offensive clubs facing off.

Playoff spots aren’t the only things on the line Thursday night. The Edmonton Oilers and San Jose Sharks will jockey for position with home-ice advantage potentially in play.

The Chicago Blackhawks will be gunning for first place in the Central Division when they host the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday night. In other action, the Washington Capitals seek a road victory in San Jose against the Sharks.

It’s the time of year in the NHL where every game has much more meaning with playoff and division implications on the line. The Minnesota Wild will look to stave off the surging San Jose Sharks in what is sure to be a heated contest on Sunday.

The NHL season is winding down, which means the standings and the playoff races are getting tighter. That includes the Philadelphia Flyers, who will look to climb back into the post-season race with a victory over the Florida Panthers on Thursday night.
