Greg Wyshynski: I'm not going to pretend to understand what's going on in the Western Conference. Up is down, left is right, hamburgers are eating people and an expansion team is one point away from first overall in the conference. The Los Angeles Kings are 10 points ahead of the team Connor McDavid plays for. You figure it out.
So I'll instead focus on the Eastern Conference where, alas, I can't in good faith predict that the New Jersey Devils (6-2-0, second in the Metro) will finish in a playoff seed.
