The Tampa Bay Lightning kept alive the possibility of a third straight Stanley Cup triumph after clinching a place in this year's playoffs with a 4-3 overtime win over the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday, and they're currently the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference.
Tampa Bay wasn't the only team to secure a playoff spot on the night, as the Pittsburgh Penguins also sealed a berth by recording a 6-3 win over the New York Islanders. That leaves only two postseason spots up for grabs in the East this season.
While six Eastern Conference teams have clinched, only one team has done so in the West.
