Immediately following the 2024 NHL Draft Lottery results, 2020 first overall selection Alexis Lafrenière and the New York Rangers will take on 2018’s second overall pick, Andrei Svechnikov, and the Carolina Hurricanes. The Rangers are out to a 1-0 series lead, and haven’t yet lost a game this post-season.

Dallas won on home ice in Game 7 to defeat the reigning Stanley Cup champion Vegas Golden Knights, and move on to one of the most complete teams to make this year’s playoffs. The Colorado Avalanche handily dispatched the Winnipeg Jets, making the regular season’s top defence look mediocre, so it will be a true challenge for Jake Oettinger and co. in the Central Division Final.
