Detroit Red Wings forwards Tomas Tatar and Gustav Nyquist are on a possible collision course in TSN's Play of the Year Showdown.

They could meet in the finals if both keep advancing.

Tomas Tatar and Gustav Nyquist are in the quarterfinals of TSN's Play of the Year Showdown.

Tatar joined Nyquist in the quarterfinals Wednesday when his goal against the Dallas Stars Jan. 4 gave him an easy victory over a goal by Ottawa Senators captain Jason Spezza.

Tatar got 80,707 of the almost 108,000 votes cast – that's more than 78 percent – to rout Spezza and advance to the finals of his bracket.

Nyquist is already in the finals of his bracket and the two Red Wings could meet in the final if each win their next two rounds.

Nyquist will face the winner of the Pool D matchup between Colorado Avalance teammates Matt Duchesne and Reto Berra that begins Thursday.

Tatar will square off against Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury beginning Monday in Pool B.

Semifinal voting begins May 29 and the final round starts June 6.
