The 2025 Stanley Cup playoffs begin on April 19. The Winnipeg Jets are the NHL's top overall seed, having finished the regular season with the most points in the standings, and the Washington Capitals earned the No. 1 seed in the East.

Monday was a lighter slate in the 2025 Stanley Cup playoffs with just two first-round games, but there was plenty on the line.

The Jets were the best team in the regular season from start to finish, winning the President's Trophy with 116 points. Hellebuyck was the best goalie in the League from start to finish, leading all goalies who played at least 40 games with 47 wins, a 2.00 goals-against average, .925 save percentage and eight shutouts.
