NHL playoff standings: Who will win the Presidents' Trophy?

As we've written previously in this space, the winner of the Presidents' Trophy is by no means guaranteed a Stanley Cup championship. Since the trophy was first awarded in 1985-86, only eight teams have won the regular-season points race and the Cup in the same campaign, the most recent being the Chicago Blackhawks in the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season.

But it's nevertheless an impressive accomplishment and guarantees home-ice advantage throughout the postseason to the team that claims the crown.

So who's winning it this season?

Following wins yesterday, the New York Rangers and Dallas Stars continue to lead the pace.
