As if it wasn’t shocking enough that the Tampa Bay Lightning are out of the playoffs, they’ll now be joined by the NHL’s other conference champion. After winning Game 1, the West-winning Calgary Flames have lost four straight to the Colorado Avalanche, who will be moving on to the next round.

That marks a NHL first: The first time that the best teams in each conference has been eliminated in the first round.
