Here's a look at all the possibilities on Friday.

EASTERN CONFERENCE

A grand total of zero playoff matchups are determined heading into a frantic
Friday.

The Tampa Bay Lightning missed a chance to wrap up third in the Atlantic Division and lock up a playoff duel with the Toronto Maple Leafs after losing to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday.

So now the two-time defending Stanley Cup champs will give it another shot with a win over the New York Islanders guaranteeing a shot against Toronto.

If the Lightning lose, the door is open for the Boston Bruins to overtake Tampa (they are currently one point back) and face the Leafs in the playoffs. And wouldn't you know it, the Bruins are in Toronto on Friday.

Just nine years ago, of course, the Bruins pulled off their stunning Game 7 comeback against Toronto in the first round. More recently, the Bruins also dispatched the Maple Leafs in seven games in both 2018 and '19. That storyline figures to be repeated a fair bit if the Leafs draw Boston in their quest to win a playoff series for the first time since 2004.

Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Division-winning Carolina Hurricanes draw the loser of the Boston-Tampa race.

The Florida Panthers wrapped up the Presidents' Trophy on Thursday with their win over the Ottawa Senators and the Colorado Avalanche's loss to the Nashville Predators.

The Panthers will face whoever loses out in the battle for third in the Metropolitan Division between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals. Pittsburgh, with a one-point edge, is in Columbus, while the Capitals are in New York to face the Rangers.

The winner of the Pittsburgh-Washington race will meet the Rangers in the first round.

All the games affecting the Eastern Conference playoff picture start at 7 p.m. ET.
