After a lengthy layoff, the Pittsburgh Penguins finally know who they will face in round two of the playoffs. The Washington Capitals lost to the Philadelphia Flyers tonight in a Game 7 overtime thriller, which means that the Penguins will face off against the New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals. The Montreal Canadiens, seeded #1 in the East, will get paired with the Philadelphia Flyers who hold the lowest seed of the advancing teams. Had the Capitals won, it would have been a Penguins-Capitals matchup for Round 2. Instead, it will be a fight between two teams that advanced out of the first round the quickest.
