Fourteen of 16 teams have clinched a playoff berth— with a few teams vying for the last two spots with only six games left, as of Monday. Most notably, if the Canadiens take down the Blackhawks— they will clinch a berth and consequently eliminate the Blue Jackets. In the Western Conference, the Wild hold a one-point lead over the Blues for a Wild Card spot, while the Flames are alive but need a lot to happen. They trail the Wild by three points.
