EAST:
(1) New York Rangers vs. (8) Ottawa Senators
The Senators got the Rangers instead of the Bruins on the last day of the season, but will they be able to upset the top seed in the East? As surprising as this young team has been (ESPN ranked them last in the preseason rankings), they don’t have enough to beat Henrik Lundqvist and the rest of a deep New York squad. Don’t it expect it to be too short, though, the Sens will put up a fight.
RANGERS IN 6
(2) Boston Bruins vs. (7) Washington Capitals
The Capitals have come on strong during the latter part of the season, but find themselves in an unfamiliar position: Not in the top 3 as a division winner. They draw the defending Stanley Cup champs, who boast an always strong and hard-hitting defense and a truckload of 20-goal-scorers. I don’t think the Caps can handle the Bruins and they will finish what has been a disappointing season early, especially if third-string goalie Braden Holtby has to start the majority of the series.

Lundqvist, who is 30 and entering the Stanley Cup Playoffs after his most statistically remarkable regular season (1.97 goals-against average .930 save percentage), says, “I’d like to play another ten years, maybe more. But, with injuries, you never know. That’s why you just have to enjoy the moment.”

New York has been too good all season long to be one and done. This is the best chance for Henrik Lundqvist to really solidify himself as an elite NHL goaltender. If he can't do it with this team than he may never do it. With that said... I like the Rangers in 6.
