Overall, the Leafs have the toughest remaining strength of schedule of the three teams (opposing win percentage of 51.3%, 11th toughest in the league); the Panthers are next (49.5%, 21st), and the Lightning have the easiest road (47.6%, 25th).

The Ottawa Senators and Minnesota Wild currently sit in the top positions in their respective wild-card races. However, they will be tested over the next few weeks and their spots could come under threat.
