Welcome to a new series from Full Press Hockey. With NHL rumors slowing down until the summer draft, we will only cover them once a week on Sundays. To replace the Wednesday rumors article, we will present a daily analysis of the playoff races called NHL 2023 playoff races. The analysis will be done daily when games are scheduled with the article being published every morning games are played. We will cover trends in the standings, and which teams are hot and which teams are not. With less than 20 games remaining in the 2022-23 season, all NHL fans will be tracking their team’s progress to see where they will finish.

Playoff Ramifications
Colorado Avalanche vs Toronto Maple Leafs
The Colorado Avalanche picked up two points to bring their total to 82 points. They trail the Minnesota Wild by four points but have a games-in-hand. The Avs shootout win was decided by a Nathan MacKinnon goal.
Buffalo Sabres vs Washington Capitals
The Sabres really needed two points to move into a tie with the Florida Panthers and could have surpassed the Washington Capitals with a win. The Sabres still hold a game-in-hand on the Caps.
Minnesota Wild vs St. Louis Blues
This game meant something to the Wild, but the Blues are 16 points from a wild-card berth. With the Minnesota victory, they move to within one point of the Central Division-leading Dallas Stars. Ryan Hartman paced the Wild with two goals. We almost had a goalie fight, but the officials contained them. Both teams have just 14 games remaining, This one is going down to the wire.

New York Islanders vs Anaheim Ducks
Here’s another example of one team playing to get into the postseason, and the other team far from it. The Isles tallied five unanswered goals to bury the Ducks. The Islanders now move into a tie with the Pittsburgh Penguins with 78 points. The Pens have three games in hand to attempt to stave off the Isles attack for the top wild-card spot.
