The four combined wild-card spots in the NHL's Eastern and Western Conferences are up for grabs, and the final playoff positions may not be clinched until the final games of the regular season are played in April.
The Atlantic Division is fairly clear-cut as the Tampa Bay Lightning are in first place, followed by the Boston Bruins and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Bruins are four points behind the Lightning, but they have two games in hand Tampa Bay. The rivals also have three games to play against each other before the regular season's conclusion.
