The Carolina Hurricanes have amassed a 13-3-1 record in their past 17 games giving them the Southeast Division lead and an almost lock on a playoff spot.
Each division winner in the NHL (3 divisions in each conference, with an Eastern and Western conference) is given an automatic 1, 2, or 3 seed depending on points received through the season.
Through 75 games, the Canes have received 85 points. This is 5 points more than the closest competitor in the Southeast Division, the Washington Capitals (80 points in 75 games). The Florida Panthers are also close (78 points in 74 games) after winning their past 7 matches.
The Canes will play at Florida tonight to try and extend their division lead.
