On Tuesday night, the Colorado Avalanche were eliminated from the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs after being swept by the Vegas Golden Knights in the Western Conference Finals.
Colorado’s elimination does have an impact on the New York Islanders, given that they traded the 2026 first-round pick they acquired from the Avalanche in the Brock Nelson deal to the St. Louis Blues in their 2026 NHL Trade Deadline deal for Brayden Schenn.
