With a little more than a week remaining in the NHL regular season, there are some important matchups coming up as teams try to secure a spot in the playoffs.
For some, it'll be about trying to hold onto a spot, while others look to push their way up the standings and into the postseason.
Entering Thursday, six teams had already clinched a playoff berth—the Tampa Bay Lightning, Boston Bruins, Winnipeg Jets, Nashville Predators, Calgary Flames and San Jose Sharks.
