Tampa Bay did it. They became the first Presidents Trophy winner to get swept out of the first round. Good for them, I guess? Pittsburgh was also swept, and we've got 2 teams into the second round. Oddly, despite Calgary not being favored in their current series, at just 45.9%, and slightly less likely than Vegas to come out of their bracket section in the second round, 37.4% to 31.3%, they are the favorite to win their conference, at 20.7%. Next closest is Nashville at 19.2%. There are a few random extra off-days in the schedule, so there are 3 more games tonight, even though all 4 series that played Monday are still ongoing.
