Don’t look now, but the Tampa Bay Lightning just might be about to skate away with the Eastern Conference in hand. They lead Toronto by three points in the Atlantic Division and have two games in hand. They are five points ahead of the Metropolitan Division-leading Columbus Blue Jackets. Don’t count out the Washington Capitals, though, as they have won 8 of 10 to get within two points of Columbus. Out west, the Los Angeles Kings and the Vegas Golden Knights keep swapping places on top of the Pacific Division. The Dallas Stars, who put together a five-game winning streak, promptly followed that up with a three-game losing streak as they continue to refuse to play consistent defense. The Nashville Predators have won 7 of 10 to climb the Central Division standings and are just four points behind St. Louis with two games in hand.
