Best NHL Prop Bets for Lightning vs. Capitals: Nikita Kucherov Looks to Pad Lead in Art Ross Trophy Race

There isn't much drama in the Western Conference after Vegas became the last team to clinch a playoff spot on Friday night. However, the Eastern Conference is still up for grabs.

The Lightning will be forced to accept the first wild card position if the Maple Leafs win one of their remaining three games, but the Washington Capitals are still teetering on the brink of the playoffs. The Capitals sit a point back of the Pittsburgh Penguins for the second wild card position with three games each remaining.

The Red Wings and Flyers are tied with the Capitals with 85 points, but the Flyers have the disadvantage of one fewer game remaining.
