With all of the playoff spots locked up in both conferences, the final games of the regular-season will determine the seedings for the playoffs. In the Western Conference, the Anaheim Ducks are focused on securing the number-one seed in the West. They have already secured the Pacific Division title and can bring home the best record in the West with a win over the playoff-bound Los Angeles Kings on Saturday night.
Ducks one win from top spot in West
Anaheim needs just one more win to claim the best record in the Western Conference. They can grab that win in their final road game before the playoffs when they take on the Kings tonight. The team secured its first-ever back-to-back first-place finishes with its win over San Jose on Wednesday. Now, they are just one win from a much bigger accomplishment, the top spot in the West. Home-ice throughout the playoffs is on the line tonight.
Kings set in the sixth spot for the playoffs
No matter what the Kings do in their final regular-season games, they will be the sixth-seed when the Stanley Cup playoffs begin. They have 99 points on the season right now and can go above the 100-point plateau with a win, but cannot catch the Blackhawks in the fifth spot. The Kings come into this game off a win and are 6-3-1 in their last 10 games played overall. Los Angeles would love to put together a winning streak prior to the start of the playoffs.
