We have some regular season games left, but hey, we have one playoff game scheduled already, so let's get rolling with this.
EAST
(1) Pittsburgh vs. (4) N.Y. Islanders
(2) Washington vs. (3) Boston (series starts Saturday after Preakness on NBC)
CENTRAL
(1) Carolina vs. (4) Nashville
(2) Florida vs. (3) Tampa Bay
NORTH
(1) Toronto vs. (4) Winnipeg or Montreal
(2) Edmonton vs. (3) Winnipeg or Montreal
Note: ashuming the tiebreakers haven't changed, Winnipeg just needs one point or one Montreal dropped point to clinch the three seed, since they'll have far more regulation/overtime wins than the Habs
WEST
(1) Vegas or Colorado vs. (4) St. Louis
(2) Vegas or Colorado vs. (3) Minnesota
Note: Some stakes left here. You'd much rather draw the Blues than the Wild. Also, both teams still have a shot at the President's Trophy. Vegas has one game left with the Sharks; Avs host the Kings twice to end the year. ROW are tight between the two (Vegas with 38, Colorado 37), so there are a lot of ways this could still finish.
I'll update this post once the field is set. Pittsburgh is almost certain to be the fourth seed among division winners, since Toronto still plays twice and is only a point behind.
