The NHL playoff brackets will be set by Friday at the latest.

The teams still jockeying for position in the Eastern and Western Conferences have either two or three games left to get into the best position possible, or lock themselves into the field.

Seven of the eight playoff spots are filled in the West, while six of the eight playoff teams are confirmed in the East.

Most of the attention will be on the two wild-card races. Three teams are fighting for one spot in the West and four squads are going after two spots in the East.
