We're back for another Rinkside Roundtable.
Heading into Wednesday, NHL teams have anywhere from nine to seven games remaining.
In the Eastern Conference, five playoff spots have been locked up, with a sixth a virtual lock for the Tampa Bay Lightning.
It's left a wildcard race between the New York Islanders, Pittsburgh Penguins, Florida Panthers, Buffalo Sabres and (maybe) the Ottawa Senators for two spots.
In the Western Conference the Central Division is a three-team race for the title between the Colorado Avalanche, Minnesota Wild, and Dallas Stars. The Pacific Division has a similar sprint scheduled between the Vegas Golden Knights, Los Angeles Kings, and Edmonton Oilers.
It's left a wild card battle between the Calgary Flames, Winnipeg Jets, and Nashville Predators for the last spot.
