It’s the first-ever Stanley Cup playoff series between two teams in California since 1969 (that classic Seals-Kings matchup). Go figure how it took so long.
The St. Louis Blues finished their meteoric rise in the standings with a win today against the Colorado Avalanche, earning them the No. 6 seed ahead of the Columbus Blue Jackets. That means the Ducks have finished 8th in the Western Confernece and will play the Presidents Trophy winning-San Jose Sharks in the first round.
