The playoff picture continues to shift across the NHL as the Carolina Hurricanes and Minnesota Wild officially clinch their spots, while the Los Angeles Kings make history — but not the kind they were hoping for.
The Kings set an NHL record with their 19th loser point of the season after a wild shootout loss, raising questions about consistency and whether this is a team built for playoff success.
Meanwhile, it was a tough night for the Winnipeg Jets, as their playoff odds take a hit, while the San Jose Sharks continue to control their draft lottery fate from the driver’s seat.
We also discuss the Chicago Blackhawks officially being eliminated from playoff contention following their loss to the Edmonton Oilers, and what this season means for their future development.
Plus, the Minnesota Wild continue trending in the right direction as they lock into the postseason for the 6th time in 7 years — but are they truly dangerous heading into the playoffs?
