With the end of the 2021-22 NHL regular season just over one week away, it’s time to look ahead to the Stanley Cup playoffs.

All eight postseason berths have been clinched in the East Division, while four are still up for grabs in the West.

With that in mind, teams like Minnesota and Edmonton are hoping to come out on top in their respective seeding battles as the regular season wanes.

The Calgary Flames and Florida Panthers are the only teams that have clinched their division and the top seed in the Pacific and Atlantic, respectively. The other two division leaders will be determined in the coming days.

While hockey fans wait for the playoff picture to come into complete focus, here’s a quick look at the latest standings and Stanley Cup odds.

Home-ice advantage is very important for teams as they skate into the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Right now, the Calgary Flames (Pacific) and Florida Panthers (Atlantic) have both clinched their respective divisions, leaving two divisions left unclaimed.

In the Metropolitan Division, it’s looking like either the Carolina Hurricanes or the New York Rangers will finish first. Both teams have four games left on the schedule, including a face-off in Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, so it’s going to be a tight race.

“It’s definitely a goal — we want to finish first,” Rangers Head Coach Gerard Gallant told AMNY’s Aidan Graham. “But we’re going to take it one game at a time, and see what happens.”

The Central Division is almost wrapped up by the Colorado Avalanche, who are the odds-on favorite to win the Cup, have an 11-point lead over the Minnesota Wild in the standings.

They also still have a good shot at the Presidents’ Trophy, if the Panthers somehow let up on the gas.

With so much on the line, hockey fans should be excited about the prospect of watching these teams leave it all out on the ice to close out the regular season.
