The race to the NHL Playoffs is on, with last year’s winners the Anaheim Ducks once again in contention, joining the Penguins, Devils, Canadiens, Red Wings, Wild, Avalanche, Sharks and Stars as locks for a spot in the playoffs.

The fourth-seeded Ducks (47-27-8) will begin defense of their title against the fifth-seeded Dallas Stars (45-30-7). During the regular season, Dallas owned a 5-2-1 record against its Pacific Division opponent.

The Anaheim Ducks won the 2006-2007 NHL Stanley Cup in 5 games over the Ottawa Senators and Ducks Defenseman Scott Neidermayer won the Conn Smyth trophy as the playoffs most outstanding player.

Stanley Cup History

The Stanley Cup originated in 1892 when Lord Stanley, the Earl of Preston and Governor General of Canada offered the Cup as an incentive to develop the sport of ice hockey and although he never witnessed a single game of hockey, Lord Stanley would be pleased to know, that following the NHL assuming control of the competition in 1926, the race to win the cup showcases arguably the most competitive hockey on the planet.
