In the National Hockey League, the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Boston Bruins are skating off with the Eastern Conference, with 106 and 104 points respectively. Even the Toronto Maple Leafs, in third in that white-hot Atlantic Division, have more points (97) than the Metropolitan Division-leading Washington Capitals (95). In the West, the Nashville Predators have cooled off, losing three in a row, but they are still five points ahead of Winnipeg in the Central Division. Dallas, losers of eight in a row, look to have mailed it in after starting goalie Ben Bishop went down to injury, while San Jose has vaulted the Pacific Division standings, winning seven in a row to sit just six points behind Vegas with nine games to play.
