The Vancouver Canucks have locked in their playoff opponent for the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
The Dallas Stars secured the top spot in the Western Conference after securing a point in regulation against the St. Louis Blues. This means that the Canucks will finish second in the conference and take on the Nashville Predators in Round 1.
Vancouver took home the top spot in the Pacific Division while Nashville locked themselves in the first wild-card spot.
The Stars will have to wait until the end of Thursday's schedule to find out who they will play in the first round.
The Los Angeles Kings currently occupy the second wild-card spot in the West. They would need a victory and a loss or one point by the Vegas Golden Knights to move up to third in the Pacific.
