Playoff Update

The two wild card spots are being battled for fiercely and it's getting crazy. The Wild and Avalanche are neck and neck for the second spot and the Avalanche have the spot right now with 80 points and the Wild have 79. The two teams are just taking it one game at a time hoping to outlast the other. The East is also in a crazy situation with the Flyers making a run for the playoffs and the Red Wings playoffs streak is at stake, in fact they aren't in a spot right now with 83 points and the Devils are approaching with 77 points. The Penguins just took third place in the Metropolitan Division with their winning streak which means the Islanders in their losing streak dropped to the first spot with 85 points. It has not been looking good for them since Halak got injured, but luckily for them they have one game in hand to everyone else which means one less game. Side note: The Predators are sneaking up on the falling Blackhawks with one game in hand and 87 points, and the Hawks in third in the Central division have 91. It is going to be an even crazier finish than last year so pay close attention to the standings especially since the playoffs start in early April. Who will make it to the playoffs? Will the Avalanche and Wild both make it? Is Detroit's streak ending this year? stay tuned....
