"The Lightning are in first place, with 102 points and 39 regulation wins through 76 games; the Sabres are in second, with 100 points and 38 RW through 77 games."
"The Sabres' remaining schedule includes the Rangers, Blue Jackets, Blackhawks and Stars -- two teams that are lottery-bound, one on the playoff fringes, and one whose seeding might very well be clinched by the time they play."
"In addition to the Lightning game, the Habs take on the Panthers, Blue Jackets, Islanders and Flyers. This is somewhat more difficult than the Sabres' slate."
The Tampa Bay Lightning, Buffalo Sabres, and Montreal Canadiens secured playoff spots. The Lightning lead the Atlantic Division with 102 points, followed closely by the Sabres and Canadiens. Upcoming matchups will be crucial, especially the Lightning's game against the Sabres. The Sabres have a relatively easier schedule ahead, while the Lightning face tougher opponents. Projections favor the Lightning to finish with 109.5 points, indicating their strong position heading into the playoffs.
