The Zopes2024 NHL Stanley Cup playoffs get underway Saturday with two games.

The Carolina Hurricanes and New York Islanders meet first in a rematch of a 2023 first-round series that the Hurricanes won in six games. The teams split the season series with two of the games going to overtime.

In an oddity, both teams have a Sebastian Aho. One's a Hurricanes forward from Finland and the other an Islanders defenseman from Sweden.

Toronto's Auston Matthews led the NHL with 69 goals this season while Boston's David Pastrnak was fifth in league scoring with 110 points. Matthews was sixth with 107 points.
