That's the most ever in a single playoff year, according to the league.
The San Jose Sharks rallied amid controversy to stun the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 7 of their first-round matchup, and the Carolina Hurricanes eliminated the Washington Capitals in double overtime of Game 7 in their opening-round series.
