Tavares, Oates and a congressman on Cisco NHL Live

It was a super Tuesday for the Washington Capitals and New York Islanders, as they were among the teams to clinch spots in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Cisco NHL Live, at 5 p.m. ET Wednesday on NHL Network with Steve Mears and Ken Daneyko, will talk to Isles superstar John Tavares and Washington coach Adam Oates.

Hockey was also the hot topic Wednesday on Capitol Hill during the Congressional Hockey Caucus Briefing. Illinois congressman Mike Quigley joins us as his Chicago Blackhawks look to lock up the Presidents' Trophy.

It's also Rivalry Night in the NHL as the Detroit Red Wings continue their push for a 22nd consecutive postseason berth. We'll catch up with Wings forward Cory Emmerton and NBC Sports analyst Pierre McGuire, who will be Inside the Glass, when the defending champion Los Angeles Kings visit Detroit.
