The two NHL wild-card races could not look more different going into Friday's games.
The Eastern Conference picture got even more crowded thanks to the Pittsburgh Penguins' win over the Washington Capitals.
Pittsburgh, Washington, the New York Islanders, Detroit Red Wings and Philadelphia Flyers all have either 81, 82 or 83 points.
Philadelphia is above the wild-card race, for now, in third place in the Metropolitan Division, but one result could drag the Flyers to the outside of the wild-card picture.
Every game involving those five teams, the Buffalo Sabres and New Jersey Devils carries a ton of meaning for the next two weeks, which makes that the most exciting playoff race left.
