While there's been plenty of parity in the NHL in recent years, Stanley Cup victories have been hoarded by a select few teams.
The last 14 titles have been won by just seven franchises, with four squads winning it multiple times. Through just one round of this year's playoffs, however, it's already apparent that a team who hasn't broken through recently (or ever) will put their names on the Cup this spring.
The Tampa Bay Lightning's run of Cup-final appearances is over. The defending champion Colorado Avalanche have been upset by the expansion Seattle Kraken.
