Eastern Conference:

Montreal Canadiens (41-15-4, 1st in East)
Montreal is easily the best team in the East at the moment. 4th in the NHL in goals per game and 4th in goals against per game, Montreal are a tough team to face. Cole Caufield (55 GP 36 G 45 A) has been fantastic for Montreal this season so far. Jakub Dobes (47 GP, .907 SV%, 3.10 GAA) has been their main netminder.

Pittsburgh Penguins (34-23-2, 3rd in East)
The Crosby (50 GP 26 G 39 A) extension is just the latest in a successful season for the Penguins. 9th in goals per game and 1st in shots against per game the Penguins are in a strong position to take the top seed in the Metropolitan division.

Toronto Maple Leafs (35-23-4, 2nd in East)
With speculation around trading Mitch Marner at the forefront, the Leafs are in an interesting situation. With 62 GP 22 G 58 A, Marner is a key part of a Toronto team that is aiming for a deep playoff run. However, with a deal yet to be signed, people are wondering if the Leafs are better making a move instead of him walking away in the offseason.

Western Conference:
Vegas Golden Knights (40-13-6, 1st in East)
Another President's Trophy contender, Vegas are in the driving spot in the west's playoff standings for now. With a 4 point lead in the west (and a game in hand), the toughest team to score against is looking to reclaim the cup. Shea Theodore (59 GP, 19 G, 41 A) is the leader for the Norris right now, and is two points off a career high season with over a month to go. Jack Eichel (29 GP, 26 G, 24 A) has also impressed when injury hasn't kept him off the ice.

LA Kings (39-17-4, 2nd in East)
With Kempe in Hart contention (60 GP, 44 G, 64 A), Los Angeles are still in the running for their second straight President's Trophy. Pierre-Luc Dubois (60 GP, 38 G, 56 A) is also having an excellent season, as the Kings are the highest scoring team in the NHL.

Winnipeg Jets (35-20-5, 3rd in East)
While not as strong as some of the leaders in the Pacific, the Jets have the lead in the Central. They are one of the best scoring teams in the league (3rd), but are also somewhat leaky, only sitting at 21st for goals allowed per game. Kyle Connor (56 GP, 42 G, 35 A) has been their biggest offensive contributer.
