A season-long battle between the Hurricanes and Devils for the top spot in their group motivated the teams to the second and third spots in the league’s overall standings, respectively, during the regular season. Now the two teams meet up to determine the best team in the Metropolitan Division in a seven-game series.

As is the case with the early game on Wednesday, the Pacific Division Final features the top two teams in that section as well. Vegas finished the year with 111 points, just finishing ahead of Edmonton after the Oilers’ late-season charge that saw them enter the post-season on a nine-game winning streak. Edmonton was 3-0-1 in the season series with the Golden Knights, and can be among the NHL’s final four if they can keep that run intact.
