After sweeping the Columbus Blue Jackets last week, the Tampa Bay Lightning kept their gap behind the two leading teams, the Carolina Hurricanes and the Florida Panthers.

Meanwhile the Blackhawks still have a theoretical chance to make playoffs, however the probability is decreasing with every day.
