Nearly there. Examining the league’s playoff contenders and pretenders, Victoria Matiash and Ryan Paton praise the Panthers and Flames, wonder what’s up with the Isles and Kraken, worry about Vegas’ goaltending, and won’t rule out a Buffalo miracle quite yet.

All before previewing the most exciting week of action yet.
