After last night, here’s where things stand with three more days of play to come.
Eastern Conference

| Lightning | 2 | 0 | 0 | 4 | .657 | 6 | 4 |

| Capitals | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | .652 | 3 | 6 |
| Bruins | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | .714 | 3 | 7 |
The Flyers and the Lightning play Saturday to decide spots one and two, and the Bruins play the Capitals to decide three and four on Sunday. One imagines when they set this up, they assumed that Sunday game was going to decide first place.
