There is a lot at stake in the 14-game slate of NHL action on Thursday.
Per the NHL, four teams can lock up a spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, while the Colorado Avalanche can secure the Presidents' Trophy.
Despite being idle, the Edmonton Oilers can become the second Canadian team to clinch a playoff spot if they get some results to break their way.
The Oilers will officially in the post-season if the Anaheim Ducks defeat the San Jose Sharks in any fashion and the Utah Mammoth defeat the Nashville Predators in regulation, combined with any result in the Winnipeg-St. Louis game other than a Jets regulation win.
Over in Utah, the Mammoth can clinch their post-season spot if they beat the Predators in regulation and the Ducks defeat the Sharks in any fashion.
If the Mammoth clinch, it would mark the first playoff appearance for the team since it relocated to Utah.
Finally, the Colorado Avalanche have three chances on Thursday to secure home-ice advantage throughout the Stanley Cup Playoffs by winning the Presidents' Trophy.
The Avs will lock up the league's best overall record if they defeat the Calgary Flames in any fashion.
If they don't secure a victory against the Flames, they can also win the Presidents' Trophy if they get one point against the Flames and the Chicago Blackhawks defeat the Carolina Hurricanes in any fashion, or if the Blackhawks beat the Hurricanes in regulation.
The Pittsburgh Penguins clinched a playoff berth Thursday after defeating the New Jersey Devils 5-2.
