The biggest storylines of the NHL's Eastern Conference playoffs (2:38)

The powerhouse teams in the NHL's Eastern Conference are on a collision course to win the Stanley Cup. There is a time and a place for it.

2:22 PM ET

The first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs will begin Tuesday night with the Washington Caps playing the Florida panthers.

Peter Laviolette said that Alex will play tonight. He was a full participant, he was not held out of anything, and he competed at full-go.

He is good to go.

The Russian star missed the final three games of the season with an upper-body injury he sustained when he slammed into the boards after tripping over the stick of Kallgren.

He has missed 27 games in his NHL career due to injury, but has never missed a playoff game.

The career goals list shows that Jaromir Jagr is third on the list. He scored 50 goals for the ninth time in his career, tying Wayne Gretzky and Mike Bossy for the NHL record. Only Gordie Howe and Wayne have more career goals.
