The 2025 Stanley Cup playoffs are here. 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. This page will be your home throughout the postseason, including schedules, scores, highlights and other preview content.

The Hurricanes really put the pressure on the Capitals on Tuesday night. Despite being on the road against the team that finished with the best record in the Eastern Conference, the Hurricanes played with confidence, peppering Capitals goaltender Logan Thompson from the drop of the puck.

The Washington Capitals didn't like how Game 1 against the Carolina Hurricanes went. They'll look to be better and even up the series in Game 2 on Thursday.
