With just over two weeks remaining in the NHL regular season, at least four playoff positions in each conference are up for grabs.
In the current playoff format, three teams from each division and two wild-card teams fill out the field of eight teams in each conference.
Over in the Eastern Conference, all eyes are on the four teams from the Metropolitan Division separated by four points, while the Washington Capitals watch from above.
The Western Conference presents the more heated wild-card race, as four teams are still alive, and all of them have the potential of jumping into third place in their respective divisions.
