The Blue Jackets, Kings, Predators, Flyers, and Capitals are all hoping to make the NHL playoffs. Here's what's at stake and the odds.
Los Angeles Kings (-600)
Record: (34, 26, 19), 87 points
The LA Kings are in a strong position in the Western Conference currently in place for a second wild-card spot.
The LA Kings have three games remaining in their schedule with an opportunity to secure a top-three spot in the Pacific Division.
Philadelphia Flyers (-425)
Record: (41, 27, 12), 94 points
The Philadelphia Flyers have an opportunity to end their playoff drought. The last time the Philadelphia Flyers made the Stanley Cup Playoffs, where they got eliminated in the second round. The Flyers last hosted a home playoff game in April 2018.
The Flyers need to score at least two points in their final two home games against the Hurricanes and Canadiens. A single win ensures third place in the Metropolitan Division.
Washington Capitals (+475)
Record: (42, 30, 9), 93 points
The Washington Capitals must win their final game against Columbus tomorrow and rely on Philadelphia Flyers losses to secure a spot.
The Capitals only have one game left and the Flyers have two, if the Flyers earn two or more points in their final two games Washington is mathematically eliminated.
Columbus Blue Jackets (+900)
Record: (40, 29, 12), 92 points
The Blue Jackets last made the Stanley Cup playoffs during the 2019-20 season, losing to the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round.
The Columbus Blue Jackets are on the brink of elimination and no longer control their playoff opportunity. The Blue Jackets must win their final regular season game and the Flyers must lose out.
Even if that all happens, the Capitals are still one point ahead of the blue jackets. They are currently ranked in the 5th spot and would have to jump to the third to clinch a Metropolitan Division wild card spot.
Nashville Predators (+290)
Record: (38, 32, 10), 86 points
The Nashville Predators are in the playoff spot race but not in control. They one point behind the LA Kings for the final Western Conference Wild Card spot.
The Predators have two games left in their season and both are a must win for any chance of a playoff berth.
