Vancouver and Nashville are set to meet in an intriguing first round series between two teams that secured bounce-back seasons.
The Canucks are in the playoffs for the second time in the last nine seasons, with the only other appearance coming in the 2019-20 season altered by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, when they host Game 1 on Sunday, it will be their first home playoff game since the 2014-15 season.
Vancouver won the Pacific Division thanks to a 109-point regular season. The Canucks are anchored by their All-Star duo of center J.T. Miller (103 points, 37 goals) and defenseman Quinn Hughes (92 points, 75 assists).
The Predators are back in the playoffs after failing to qualify last season; this marks their ninth playoff appearance in the last ten years, a remarkable stretch of consistency. Nashville finished off a 99-point regular season to capture the first Wild Card spot.
Filip Forsberg notched a career-high 48 goals, 46 assists and 94 points while earning an All-Star appearance for the second time in his career.
Vancouver won all three matchups during the regular season.
