Last week of the season
Last week's games of the week
BOS - TBL 11.5-4.5 TBL W
BOS - FLA 12-4 FLA W
BUF - TOR 8.5-7.5 TOR W
Games of the week
BUF - TOR
FLA - MTL
MIN - NSH
Atlantic is still the division to watch, The president's trophy is still up for grabs BUF gained some ground with 7 more wins than TOR last week, but TOR still has the edge at 784-344-120 to 773-357-118. With TOR having the easier schedule this week they are odds on favourite to finish #1. BOS is looking like they will be the team stuck on the outside of the playoffs even though they deserve a spot. They have a soft schedule other than WAS with OTT, CHI and DAL so a huge week could save his season but he likely needs 4 blowouts and another atlantic team to struggle.
Only other division with some drama is the central where the gap is quite a bit bigger between MIN/NSH then BUF/TOR but with a big week Mik could still make it interesting. My money is on MIN though as they have CAR and ARI on the schedule. There is also still a battle for 2nd with WPG /STL who unfortunately don't face off this week and are only separated by 18 points. LAK could also still finish 1st in the West with a strong week.
Potential playoff matchups
LAK/MIN - COL
LAK/MIN - STL/WPG
CGY - VAN
NAS - STL/WPG
BUF/TOR - MTL/TBL/FLA
WAS - MTL/TBL/FLA
PHI - NYI
MTL/TBL/FLA - MTL/TBL/FLA
