The official National Hockey League website including news, rosters, stats, schedules, teams, and video.
www.nhl.comHere’s the latest I can share, based on recent playoff coverage up to late May 2026.
- Buffalo Sabres have advanced past the first round, defeating the Boston Bruins in Game 6 to win the series 4-2. This marks their first second-round appearance in 19 years.
- The Vegas Golden Knights topped the Utah Mammoth in their series to move on to the next round, with a 4-2 series win.
- The official NHL site is providing ongoing round-by-round coverage, including Series D, Series I, and the Stanley Cup Final updates as the playoffs progress.
- A number of outlets were tracking clinching scenarios and updated brackets in early April 2026, highlighting teams like the Hurricanes, Sabres, Wild, and Bruins in various clinching statuses.
If you’d like, I can pull the specific current round matchups, series scores, and upcoming game times for your preferred team, and I can also drop in a compact bracket showing which teams are still alive. I can also create a quick summary of the remaining series and key players to watch. Would you like that?
