However, Colorado is only four points back of Vegas and has played one less game, so it still has time to ascend to the top of the division.Īll four divisions still have seeding battles occurring, so many teams that have clinched playoff berths still have reasons to play hard to close out the regular season. It's still possible that the Vegas Golden Knights, Colorado Avalanche or Minnesota Wild could finish first in the West Division, although Minnesota is close to being eliminated from contention for that spot. Toronto will clinch the division title with one more point or one Edmonton loss. The Toronto Maple Leafs have an eight-point lead over the Edmonton Oilers for first place in the North Division. However, Pittsburgh could clinch the division title if it beats the Buffalo Sabres in regulation on Saturday and Washington doesn't beat the Philadelphia Eagles in regulation. In the East, the Pittsburgh Penguins have a two-point lead over the Washington Capitals for first place, although they have one less game to play.

However, the Hurricanes are the only team that have secured that. Teams that finish first in their respective divisions will have home-ice advantage through the first two rounds of the playoffs.
