What are the latest updates on the NHL playoff race?
It's April 3rd. This is San Jose Sharks News Today, powered by AI everything happening with your team. I'm Corey with the story. The NHL playoff picture shifted again Friday with tight races in both conferences. In the east, Ottawa Senators grabbed the second wild card spot after beating Buffalo. Detroit Red Wings sit right behind at 88 points, but Ottawa holds the tiebreaker on regulation wins.
How are the Ottawa Senators and San Jose Sharks performing in the wild card race?
Out west, San Jose Sharks climb back into that second wild card with four straight victories. The Colorado Avalanche finally caught a break with an off-day Thursday, wrapping a grueling 14-game stretch from March 6th to April 1st, where they went eight wins, five losses, and one overtime loss. Now they hit practice this morning at Family Sports Center before facing the Dallas Stars Saturday, just after 1 p.m. Mountain Time needed.
Fans are buzzing over these wildcard battles getting fiercer by the day. Philadelphia Flyers dropped their second straight regulation loss to Detroit, leaving three teams between them and the playoffs despite being just two.
Points out, that kind of drama keeps everyone on edge as the season winds down. Meanwhile, Dallas comes in hot off a 3-0 shutout of Winnipeg Thursday, setting up what should be a high-stakes clash with the Avs. San Jose's turnaround from a six-game skid to this win streak has folks rethinking their wildcard odds entirely. Vegas Golden Knights get a boost too, with goalie Carter Hart nearing a return, though how soon remains unclear. These tweaks keep the chase unpredictable right through the final stretch.
