The Caps don't yet tknow who they'll play in the next round of the playoffs though. They won't find out until after tonight's Game Sevens between the top-seeded New York Rangers and Ottawa, and the third-seeded Florida Panthers against New Jersey.

The West's second round match-ups have already been set. It'll be L.A. versus St. Louis and Phoenix taking on Nashville.
