Three days remain in the NHL's qualifying round to determine the 16 teams headed to the 2020 Stanley Cup playoffs.
The Carolina Hurricanes and Calgary Flames have eliminated the New York Rangers and Winnipeg Jets, respectively. The other six qualifying series remain in progress, but each one is entering a potentially decisive game Friday.
There are also two round-robin seeding games left in both conferences. The Tampa Bay Lightning and Philadelphia Flyers are battling for the No. 1 seed in the East, and the Colorado Avalanche and Vegas Golden Knights are set to do that in the West.
