Jonathan Huberdeau (Florida), Mike Hoffman (Florida), Nathan Beaulieu (Winnipeg) and Julien Gauthier (New York Rangers) were all eliminated in the Stanley Cup qualifying round.
Huberdeau recorded a goal and two assists in the Panthers' four games against the New York Islanders while Hoffman registered three goals and two helpers. The team has fired Dale Tallon has their general manager, so changes may be on the way this off-season. Florida has not advanced past the first round of the playoffs since 1996.
Beaulieu, meanwhile, recorded one assist in four games with the Jets, who were eliminated by the Calgary Flames. Beaulieu's playoff run will likely be remembered by his fight with Milan Lucic more than anything.
Gauthier was held pointless in the three games he played in with the Rangers, who were swept by the Carolina Hurricanes - Gauthier's former team.
The playoffs have been much more enjoyable for a few other ex-Dogs, particularly Matthew Highmore, who has two goals and an assist in six games with the Chicago Blackhawks. Highmore made an impact in Chicago's surprising defeat of the Edmonton Oilers in the qualifying round, but the squad has been overmatched by Vegas so far in the first round.
Matthew Highmore went from costing the Blackhawks a key goal to providing them one in Game 3. He was pretty open about the wide range of emotions he felt throughout the night. https://t.co/IGOYzMX5Ae
