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 enough games affecting the playoffs are scheduled, with the article being published every morning after 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.

PODCAST: Full Press Hockey Weekly Ep 45: Canucks, Islanders, and The Boston Bruins
Ottawa Senators vs Boston Bruins
Linus Ullmark made 40 saves, Jake DeBrusk had the go-ahead goal and the NHL-best Boston Bruins continued their pursuit of the league’s record for regular-season victories with a 2-1 win over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday night. The loss puts the Sens six points from a wild-card spot with 11 games left.
Nashville Predators vs Buffalo Sabres
The win allowed Nashville (35-26-8) to keep pace in the race for the Western Conference’s final two wild-card playoff spots. The Predators opened the day in 10th, five points behind eighth-place Winnipeg. The Nashville club is still five points back, but have three games-in-hand on the Jets.
Tampa Bay Lightning vs Montreal Canadiens
Kirby Dach and Jonathan Drouin scored in the first period and the Montreal Canadiens beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-2 on Tuesday night. The Lightning failed to gain ground on the the Leafs with the loss and only have 10 games left to play.
Minnesota Wild vs New Jersey Devils
Matt Boldy scored with 1.3 seconds left in overtime and Filip Gustavsson made a career-high 47 saves to give the Minnesota Wild a 2-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night. The win by Minnesota ties the with the Stars for first place with 90 points in the Central Division with 11 games left for both teams.
Carolina Hurricanes vs New York Rangers
Teuvo Teravainen scored tie-breaking goal late in the third period, Frederik Andersen stopped 29 shots and the Carolina Hurricanes rallied to beat the New York Rangers 3-2 on Tuesday night. The two top teams in the Metro Division fought it out for first place with the Hurricanes winning the battle.
Columbus Blue Jackets vs Washington Capitals
Boone Jenner tied it with 46.9 seconds left in the third period, Jack Roslovic scored his second goal of the game in overtime and the NHL-worst Columbus Blue Jackets rallied to beat the Washington Capitals 7-6 on Tuesday night. The Caps loss puts them five points from a wild-card berth with 10 games left.
Florida Panthers vs Philadelphia Flyers
Travis Sanheim scored twice, Carter Hart made 41 saves and the Philadelphia Flyers defeated the Florida Panthers 6-3 on Tuesday night. The Florida loss keeps them ahead of the Penguins but by just a single point. The Pens have a game in hand. The Flyers played the spoiler role in this one.
Detroit Red Wings vs St. Louis Blues
*No Playoff Ramifications
Toronto Maple Leafs vs New York Islanders
Cal Clutterbuck had two goals and an assist as the New York Islanders got all their scoring in the last two periods in a 7-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday night. The Isles held onto their hold of the top wild-card spot with this impressive win. The Maple Leafs still maintained a three-point lead over Tampa Bay.
Seattle Kraken vs Dallas Stars
Defenseman Adam Larsson scored on a breakaway backhander 1:52 into overtime and emergency callup goaltender Joey Daccord made 25 saves in his first NHL appearance since Nov. 1 as the Seattle Kraken beat the Dallas Stars 5-4 on Tuesday night. Both teams needed a win here. In the end, the Kraken gained the victory strengthening their hold on the West’s first wild-card position. It really hurt the Stars who fell into a tie with the Wild.
Arizona Coyotes vs Winnipeg Jets
Connor Hellebuyck stopped 29 shots to lead the Winnipeg Jets to a needed 2-1 victory over the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday night. The Jets held onto the last wild-card spot with just 10 games remaining. The game was meaningless for the Coyotes who are out of the postseason picture.
Vegas Golden Knights vs Vancouver Canucks
Jonathan Quick took sole possession of second place on the NHL all-time wins list among United States-born goalies in the Vegas Golden Knights 4-3 victory against the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena on Tuesday. The Vegas win kept them two points ahead of the Kings with both teams having 11 games remaining.
Calgary Flames vs Anaheim Ducks
Tyler Toffoli had three assists, Calgary scored twice on the power play and the Flames bounced back from a six-goal loss one night earlier with a 5-1 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday. The Calgary win keeps them within four points of the Jets with 10 games left.
