NHL Stanley Cup Playoff Watch: Who's clinched a playoff spot? Who's been eliminated?
Watch every game of the NHL season on DAZN
We are on the road to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Every game of the season, including the Stanley Cup Playoffs, will be live on DAZN with NHL.TV worldwide, excluding Canada and the US.
Who is in the postseason and on the outside looking in?
Eight teams from the Eastern and Western Conferences make it into the postseason with a chance to capture the Stanley Cup. Each team has fewer than 15 games left in the regular season, which ends on April 16. So, there isn't much time left to go.
Currently, the two-time defending champion Florida Panthers are on the outside looking in and unlikely to make the postseason. Right now, the Panthers (35-35-3, 75pts) sit 15 points out of the eighth and final spot held by the Columbus Blue Jackets (38-24-12, 88pts).In the West, the Colorado Avalanche and Dallas Stars have clinched playoff spots. There are four teams within four points of the eighth-seeded Nashville Predators (34-31-9, 77pts).
