The Chicago Blackhawks have five games left in the regular-season and are fighting for playoff positing. Each day until the end of the regular-season, we'll breakdown their seeding chances in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Thursday's results

Nashville failed to clinch a playoff spot as they fell to Pittsburgh. First-place Dallas extended its division lead with a win over Arizona. Minnesota fell to Ottawa to remain five points ahead of idle Colorado for the second wild card spot in the Western Conference.
