An Updated Look At The 2010 NHL Playoffs Bracket: April 27 Edition

The quarterfinal round of the 2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs might not be over just yet, but as of now, we have a pretty good idea of who will be playing who in the second round. Two Game 7’s remain, but let’s look at the bracket so far. Click to enlarge.

↵It’s a little complicated since teams are re-seeded each round, but you can get the general idea of what’s going on.

↵Things in the West are just about settled. We know for sure that Chicago and Vancouver will face off in the second round. Whoever wins Tuesday’s Game 7 between Detroit and Phoenix will then travel to San Jose to face the Sharks in the second round.

↵Out East, things are a little more complicated, but it still all comes down to one Game 7: Montreal versus Washington on Wednesday night. If the Caps win, they’ll host the Flyers to start round two and Boston will travel to Pittsburgh, as you see in the bracket above. If Montreal wins, Boston will host the Flyers to start the conference semifinals and the Penguins will face the Canadiens.
