Edit: ESPN messed up their standings. Philly gets the tiebreaker over Pitt and both teams are likely to end the season with 106 points. So with that said Philly ends up with the number 2 seed.

1st round will be either Carolina or New York. If New York looses tomorrow then they're out.

2nd Round will likely be the winner of Pitt/Tampa. Unless Montreal pulls another 1st round upset over Boston or Buffalo upsets Pittsburgh in which case we'll face Buffalo or Montreal. If both Buffalo and Montreal pull off the upsets we play Buffalo.

Montreal certainly has a chance of upsetting Boston to as they lead the regular season series 4-2. So if anything Montreal might be the most likely 2nd round opponent.

3rd Round Obviously whoevers left standing. This is the only round the Caps can possibly play Boston or Philly. If Boston or Philly is upset then we would play the winner of Tampa/Pitt and Boston/Philly.

If seeds were a good indication it would likely be Carolina/New York, Pitt, Philly, then Vancouver in the finals. But as we know from last year nothing is guaranteed.

Flyers really blew it though. 5 straight losses and counting to end the regular season.
