NHL playoff standings: Oilers-Avs a conference final preview?

With four days left of the 2022-23 NHL regular season, we know the identity of 13 out of 16 playoff teams. But quite a bit of specific seeding remains to be determined.

That process continues tonight via a 10-game schedule, highlighted by a double-header on ESPN.

In the first game, the past becomes the present to preview the future, as the Toronto Maple Leafs and Tampa Bay Lightning reprise their first-round clash from the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs (7 p.m. ET, ESPN), a week before they'll run it back in the first round of the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
