The NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs begin Saturday. Here's what to watch for
Briefly

The Stanley Cup Playoffs commence this Saturday, following a thrilling last season. As top contenders emerge, smaller markets like Winnipeg and seasoned stars such as Alex Ovechkin gear up for competitive play. The Washington Capitals surpassed pre-season predictions, with Ovechkin ranking fourth in league goals despite concerns about late-season performance. The playoffs present an opportunity for first-time winners, highlighting the absence of traditional powerhouses like New York and Chicago, which allows for potentially fresh champions.
