The New York Rangers are well aware about the difficulties Presidents’ Trophy winners have had in advancing in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Since being awarded to the team with the highest point total during the regular season starting with the 1985-86 season, only eight of those teams have gone on to win the championship.

Captain Jacob Trouba echoed that sentiment, adding: “Things in the past or trends ... I don’t think our group really reads too much into them. We’re just trying to write our own page, our own story and that’s, I guess, the focus.” The Hurricanes, who reached the Eastern Conference final last year, are in the postseason for the sixth straight year under Brind’Amour. Their win against the Islanders in the first round marked the first time a franchise has won at least one series in six straight years since Detroit did it from 1995-2000.
The Rangers led the league with 30 wins at home, but both teams were solid on the road with 25 wins during the season — tied for third-best. Carolina had balanced offensive contributions throughout their lineup in the first round, getting goals from 12 different players — led by Stefan Noesen and Jarvis — and points by 17 players.
