their case as a playoff team, with Nathan MacKinnon willing them into the postseason. Which means we might be down to three teams for two playoff seeds -- the Anaheim Ducks, Dallas Stars and Los Angeles Kings. And, based on my extensive experience playing musical chairs, that means one of them is going to miss out. I'm increasingly concerned that the Stars are going http://www.authenticphilliesstore.com/Authentic-Chuck-Klein-Jersey to be the team without a chair, staring at the Ducks and Kings comfortably seated in their playoff spots. The majority of Dallas' remaining games are on the road, where it is a completely different team. Too bad ... the Stars would have made for some fun playoff viewing.

Through Sunday's game against the Winnipeg Jets, the Stars have a plus-12 goal differential this season, higher than the three teams on the Eastern Conference bubble. They have Tyler Seguin and his 38-goal season, and John Klingberg, who -- with a revelatory 59-point campaign -- has established himself as an elite point-producing defender. With them, plus wings like Jamie Benn and Alexander Radulov, coach Ken Hitchcock has a compelling group.

If Dallas does miss the playoffs, some of it will simply be because of bum luck. Goalie Ben Bishop's injuries have been an issue. Martin Hanzal, a key offseason acquisition, has been a bust and limited to 38 games because of injury. Marc Methot, http://www.officialpittsburghpenguins.com/Adidas-Kris-Letang-Jersey another key offseason pickup, has been limited to 28 games because of injury. But some of it has been of the Stars' own making, such as underwhelming play at even strength and digging holes they couldn't climb out of. Dallas is 2-20-2 when trailing entering the third period. And then there's whatever the heck happened with center Jason Spezza this season.

But overall, this is a team that could be playoff caliber if it was at full strength and if everyone played to his potential. I wish that were the case for GM Jim Nill, who made several bold decisions to turn this team around Donnel Pumphrey Authentic Jersey and is someone I would have liked to have seen vindicated. At the very least, it would have been nice to see Seguin in the playoffs with the Stars, as he's played only seven postseason games for Dallas.

Emily Kaplan, national NHL reporter: I'm such a sucker for the 2017-18 St. Louis Blues. I hate that there's a chance we won't see them in the postseason. Through the end of December this season, the Blues had led the Central Division for all but 10 days. Not only were they outperforming expectations -- remember, most people initially wrote off St. Louis this season because of its horrible injury luck -- but the Blues were a really fun team to watch. They were stingy on defense and stellar on offense, with one superstar line (Brayden Schenn, Jaden Schwartz and Vladimir Tarasenko) that could go toe-to-toe with any great line in the league. And then it all crumbled.

When we write the season obituary for the Blues, it will be easy to point to a six-game, 14-day slide leading up to the trade deadline that precipitated the surprising trade of Paul Stastny to the Winnipeg Jets, and a midseason goaltending slump, as causes of their demise. But the biggest problem for the Blues is that they peaked too soon. I wish they were still playing like that team we saw in October and November. Then again, after Sunday's come-from-behind overtime win against the Chicago Blackhawks -- which Tarasenko sat out with an upper-body injury -- the Blues have inched to within one point of the final wild-card spot. So maybe there's a chance for redemption after all.

Chris Peters, NHL prospects writer: The Florida Panthers have made a valiant effort the over the past six weeks to get back into contention. The past two seasons have been tumultuous in South Florida, but it looks like Panthers coach Bob Boughner is getting things back on track. His team dug itself an early-season hole, and its late run might be too little, too late for a playoff spot this season. But this late push has to be hugely beneficial to the organization's psyche after some upheaval set the Panthers back a little bit.

Since Jan. 30, the Panthers have the second-best record in the NHL. They're 16-5-1 over that span, second only to the Nashville Predators. They're not dead yet, but sitting five points out of Antoine Bethea Jersey a wild-card spot with 13 games to go feels a little steep, even given how well they've played down the stretch.

The unfortunate thing is that the Panthers have finally gotten a pretty healthy season out of Aleksander Barkov. He is three games from equaling the most he has played in a season, 71 in 2014-15, and he already has 70 points, by far a career best. Meanwhile, center Vincent Trocheck continues to build up his game and has also set http://www.footballdolphinsofficials.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_DAN_MARINO_JERSEY.html career highs with 28 goals and 66 points. Throw in Jonathan Huberdeau and Evgenii Dadonov and Florida has four 20-plus goal Authentic John Klingberg Jersey scorers on its roster. Meanwhile, veteran goalie Roberto Luongo has given the Panthers good starts and James Reimer has gotten stronger between the pipes.

All of Florida's core offensive players remain under contract for multiple years as well, plus the team likely will be able to add top prospects Henrik Borgstrom and Owen Tippett to its lineup next season. That all puts the Panthers in good position to stay in postseason contention for a while. They just need to make sure they have a better start next season. As we've seen, when they're on their game, they're a handful for anyone.
