NHL Playoff Standings 2024: Updated Postseason Picture and Stanley Cup Bracket

Fourteen of the 16 Stanley Cup Playoffs berths have been clinched going into the final week of the NHL regular season.

The final two spots come down to five teams in the Eastern Conference all within four points of each other.

The New York Islanders hold the slight edge for third place in the Metropolitan Division over the Washington Capitals, Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins. Washington is ahead of the Detroit Red Wings, Flyers and Penguins for the final wild-card spot.

While most of the playoff attention has been on the East, a few big results shifted the Western Conference outlook, including the Winnipeg Jets' 7-0 Saturday thumping of the Colorado Avalanche.
