Eastern Conference
There is only seven points separating Sabres in 11th place in the Eastern conference up to 6th place Devils. Over the last week the Rangers and Maple Leafs have been on a great run of form winning four and three in a row respectively.
The Penguins Have fallen to 8th in the standings losing their last four, they need to stop the bad run of form quickly as they are only one point clear of the 9th place Jets, as we said last week the race to the Stanley Cup Playoffs is likely to go right down to the last few if not the last game of the season.
The Canadiens as we noted last week needed to make some sort of move before they were really out of realistic contention, they have won their last two which has at least for now meant they are still very much alive. The Lightening, Hurricanes and Islanders have continued the poor season form and this season appears an uphill struggle from here
Western Conference
As we mentioned last week the Sharks were on the outskirts of the playoffs, but still very much in the picture. Since then they have won there last four in a row to go to the top of their division and third in the Western conference standings.
The Wild are on a run of three straight losses, which has left them sitting 7th in the Western Conference, they are only 1 point clear of teams 8-10 in the conference. At this stage it looks like the Wild will have to pick up their form at some point, in order to make a push for the playoffs.
We mentioned last week that the Oilers were having major issues on the defensive side of the puck in order to stand any chance of the playoffs, they have lost their last three in a row and currently sit some 12 points outside of the playoffs. In a league where going on a long winning run of anything more then three or four is the exception rather then the rule, the Oilers will now struggle to make much of a run at the playoffs
