The 2025 Stanley Cup playoffs begin on April 19. 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.

Game 4 between the Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning produced one of the wildest sequences of the Stanley Cup playoffs through Monday and an all-time record. The game started slowly with a scoreless first period. The Panthers' Anton Lundell opened the scoring nine minutes into the second.

• The start time for Game 5 of the First Round series between the Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs has been set for 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday, April 29 in Toronto. The game will be televised on Sportsnet, CBC and TVA Sports in Canada. In the U.S., the game will be on ESPN.
