Boston's win Tuesday locked the Bruins into the first Wild Card spot and Ottawa into the second. The Bruins will face the Sabres in an Atlantic Division match up while the Senators take on the Hurricanes. Which of the two lower seeds has the better chance of upsetting the higher seed?

Both lower seeds have true #1 goalies - Swayman and Ullmark. Each team has a game-breaking forward - Pastrnak and Stutzle. Sanderson is Ottawa's blueline threat, McAvoy Boston's. Choose your poison.

I am going with Boston against Buffalo due to opponent familiarity and experience. But if Ottawa gets ahead of Carolina in the series, don't rule out the Senators as the Hurricanes have all the pressure.
