Boston 4, Tampa Bay 0
After a two-year absence, the Boston Bruins are back in the playoffs.

In a preview of a likely first-round playoff matchup, the Pittsburgh Penguins took a big step toward earning home-ice advantage with a 4-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday at PPG Paints Arena.
Washington 4, Toronto 1
Philipp Grubauer missed his fourth shutout of the season with just under two minutes to play Tuesday night, but the Washington Capitals' backup goaltender was not disappointed.

Winnipeg 5, St. Louis 2

The Nashville Predators were looking to tune their game up for the playoffs.

Dallas 3, Arizona 2
Julius Honka scored with 1:15 remaining in overtime and the Dallas Stars beat the Arizona Coyotes 3-2 on Tuesday at American Airlines Center.

A victory that enabled the Anaheim Ducks to retain control of first place in the Pacific Division might have cost them an All-Star defenseman.
