Just trying to understand how playoffs seeding works:

If Habs finish in last playoff spot, they play top seed in conference, which means Caps now.

If they beat Caps (i think they can), who do they play next ? Winner of Canes-NJ, or winner of Panthers-Tampa/Leafs ?

Logically Panthers, since they become best seed if Caps are out, and Habs remain lowest seed still alive.

And winner Tampa/Leafs face winner Canes-NJ ?
