The hunt for the Stanley Cup continued on an action-packed Sunday in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs, featuring four first-round matchups. In Game 4 of their series, the No. 4 seed St. Louis Blues faced off against the No. 1 Winnipeg Jets. Later, the No. 2 seed Carolina Hurricanes squared off against the No. 3 New Jersey Devils.

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.

This year's first-round matchups feature some key rematches from last season, including the defending champion Florida Panthers facing in-state rival Tampa Bay Lighting and last year's runner-up Edmonton Oilers facing the Los Angeles Kings for the fourth year in a row.
