Eastern Conference playoff picture Based on the simulations in the Eastern Conference, Toronto, Washington, Pittsburgh and the New York Islanders haveall but secured their position to the postseason. The Canadiens,Hurricanes and Blue Jackets are in the middle of the tight three-way race for the last two Wild Card spots. One team will be left out. Simulations predict that Carolina and Columbus will go to the postseason with 86% and 60% probabilities, respectively. The Canadiens' postseason chances are 55%,narrowly le s than Columbus, which invested heavily at the trade deadline to make a deep push to the postseason. Columbus has four out of six games on Ethan Rinke Jersey the road, but three of these teams have been eliminated a long time ago.

They play against each other on Kurtis Bradicich Jersey Monday that may eliminate one team from the playoffs race. Minnesota has tough opponents as all remaining teams are either fighting for playoffs or already secured their playoff berth. Arizonas schedule is a bit easier with threehome games and twoon the road and one of those games is against rock bottom Los Angeles. Still, in order to really challenge Colorado for the last playoffs place, they need to win the next two games against Colorado and Minnesota.
