The Penguins also had a strong regular season, scoring 108 points to finish with the second-most in the conference, but finish fourth in playoff seeding due to not winning a division. The Penguins went into the playoffs with a lot of hype, but lost in the opening round to the Flyers.

The Bruins won the Northeast Division last season, racking up 102 points to earn the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. In what was a common theme in last year’s playoffs, the Bruins were upset in the first round. Boston lost to the Capitals in 7 games.
