FIVE YEARS AGO: April 27, 1994

Bring on the Capitals! Washington eliminates second-seeded Pittsburgh in six with a 6-3 win at the Cap Centre. As the lowest remaining seed, Washington gets to play the top-seeded Rangers. And while Washington has been a playoff jinx for the Rangers, at least they are nowhere near as talented as playoff jinx Pittsburgh.

Meanwhile, the Sabres' Dave Hannan scores in the fourth overtime to send their series with the Devils to a seventh game.
