NHL Playoff Bracket Scenarios: Which races remain to be won?

As expected, Saturday's busy schedule produced a lot of progress in the standings. The Pittsburgh Penguins clinched the East Division crown, and the Toronto Maple Leafs did the same in the North Division. The Nashville Predators are now officially playoff-bound after they defeated the Carolina Hurricanes -- who they'll play once more this week, then in the first round of the playoffs.

We now know the identity of 15 out of 16 playoff teams, with the No. 4 seed in the North remaining to be settled.
