New York Islanders - Pittsburgh Penguins

The first game of the quarter-finals.
Washington was relaxing during the last season's matches and preparing for the playoffs, which resulted in losses. However, this did not stop the team from taking the first place in the conference.
Montreal does not make it to the playoffs every year, so the team is already in seventh heaven. However, the Canadian club is stronger in their own arena, and losing in Washington would not be a shame at all. The hosts, on the other hand, cannot afford any slip-ups on their home court. The team is very experienced and must win the first game.
