Potential Playoff Opponents: East

I was looking at the standings today, and rather than what will probably happen, I was thinking about what could theoretically possibly happen. I thought it was a neat way to look at things. So even though tomorrow, many of these possibilities may be eliminated, I thought I'd share it with you. By team, what follows is a comprehensive list of possible 1st-round playoff situations in the East. This might be a neat way to, night by night, eliminate certain outcomes? Although, since I'm going away for the weekend for Passover, maybe I won't ever get around to actually doing that. Anyway, I thought it was neat. So here it is. (Notably absent from this list are the Lightning, Jets, Hurricanes, Maple Leafs, Islanders, and Canadiens, all of whom have been eliminated from contention.)
