Here is what is worth playing for today.
The Blues: A win would give them a chance to finish first, depending on how the Predators and Jets fare
Jets: They can finish no worse than second with a win at the Arizona. They hold the regulation/overtime wins (ROW) tiebreaker. That would guarantee Winnipeg home-ice advantage in the Western Conference First Round, either against Dallas or Colorado as the first wild card if it wins the division, or against third-place Nashville or St. Louis if it finishes second.
Dallas : They need one point against Minny to make the Avs the second WC and put the Avs into a first round against the Flames
Isles: If they get one point tonight against the Caps, that would give the Isles home ice advantage in the first round.
Canes, Pens and Jackets.....Oh my: They all will move seeding today depending on how they do. The Pens could pass the Isles for 2nd with a regulation loss by the Isles and if the Pens beat the Rangers. But a regulation loss to the Rangers and a win by the Hurricanes at the Philly would put the Hurricanes into third and drop the Penguins to the first wild card and a first-round series against the Capitals.
The Canes are one point ahead of the Blue Jackets who hold the second wild card but have the ROW edge on the Canes. A Carolina win means finishing no worse than the first wild card; a loss, and a win by the Jackets against the Sens, would move the Jackets into the first wild card and put the Canes into the second and a first-round series against Tampa
Now to take a rest after all of this
