The Nashville Predators clinched their first Presidents' Trophy in franchise history after they beat the Washington Capitals, and the Boston Bruins lost in regulation to the Florida Panthers on Thursday night.

The last team to win the Presidents' Trophy in a full 82-game season and then go on to win the Stanley Cup was the Detroit Red Wings in 2007-08.

The Predators made it all the way to the Stanley Cup Final last year as the No. 16 seed, and seem primed for another deep run this spring.
