It appears that the Pacific Division title is going to come down to the final games of the season. The top three teams are now within three points of one another after the Calgary Flames dispatched the Arizona Coyotes in a 3-2 win on Friday night. The Flames are behind the Vegas Golden Knights and Edmonton Oilers in the regulation wins column but have two more games against Vegas and their final game of the season against Edmonton.

Here's where things stand throughout the league heading into Saturday's 10-game slate, including Carolina Hurricanes-New York Islanders and Nashville Predators-Dallas Stars streaming live on ESPN+.

Note: Playoff chances are courtesy of Money Puck, while tragic numbers are per the NHL's Damian Echevarrieta.

Race for the No. 1 pick

The NHL uses a draft lottery to determine the order at the top of the first round, so the team that finishes in last place is not guaranteed the No. 1 selection. However, whoever does win the draft lottery has a chance to select Alexis Lafreniere.
