Five FINAL WEEK STORYLINES IN THE NHL to watch: From LetsGoOilers Leon Draisaitl's power-play goal chase to the LetsGoPens' playoff streak, SEllisHockey outlines what is on the line:
We’re in the final season of the NHL regular season, with most teams having just 2-3 games to close things out. For many teams, it’s business as usual, just trying to prepare for the playoffs. For others, there’s absolutely no room for error.Three playoff spots are up for grabs, with six teams between the two conferences vying for the opportunity to play again next week. With the Wildcard battles being that… wild, that alone is enough to keep fans hooked, no matter who you cheer for.
McDavid is the clear favorite for the Hart Trophy and nobody has been in spitting distance of his scoring lead this year. Like, even with two games left, would 158, or even 160 points be out of the equation? The Oilers are flying high and McDavid is leading the charge. You can’t count out anything here.Armed with the single-season wins record of 63, and an incredible .819 win percentage, the Boston Bruins can finish things off with yet another record: the most points in a single season.
But with just two games to go, the Penguins sit one point behind the Florida Panthers and Pittsburgh Penguins for the final Wildcard spot while boasting a 6-4-0 record over the past 10 games. The Panthers are on a six-game winning streak, and if things keep rolling there, the Penguins could be in deep trouble. If that happens, it’ll be the end of a legacy.
