As reported by my colleague Alex Desrosiers, with their 5-0 victory last night against the New York Islanders, the Tampa Bay Lightning sealed their fate for the 2023 playoffs.
Firstly, Jon Cooper and Julien BriseBois' team confirmed their place in the playoffs.
Secondly, Tampa Bay has already consolidated their position in the playoff bracket.
As a result, this is what the National Hockey League (NHL) just announced via their official page:
Our first-round series is officially set.
The Lightning, who secured a place in the 2023 Playoffs, also confirmed that they will face the Toronto Maple Leafs in the first round for the second time in as many years.

The worst fears of Leafs fans have just been confirmed, and according to several experts, it really smells like ANOTHER first-round elimination for Toronto.
Imagine the scenario! Another early elimination would be a disaster for them.
Despite their participation in the playoffs since 2017, the Maple Leafs have never managed to reach the second round.
