DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings still have three potential second-round playoff opponents following Sunday's games: San Jose, Nashville or Chicago.

Anaheim was crossed off the list after the Ducks were eliminated by Nashville in Game 6.

The earliest Detroit will learn its opponent is late Tuesday night (early Wednesday morning, technically) following Game 7 of the Chicago-Vancouver series. The Blackhawks have won three consecutive games and are trying to become only the fourth team in NHL history to win a series after trailing 0-3.

San Jose has a 3-2 series lead on Los Angeles and will try to close out the Kings Monday night in Game 6 at the Staples Center. If there's a Game 7, it will be Wednesday in San Jose.

Here are the possibilities:

--If San Jose and Vancouver win, Detroit will play the Sharks.

--If San Jose wins and Vancouver loses, Detroit will play the Predators.

--If Vancouver wins and San Jose loses, Detroit will play the Predators.

--If San Jose and Vancouver lose, Detroit will play the Blackhawks.

The Red Wings can't play the Kings or Canucks in the second round under any circumstances.
