The Predators let the division title get away from them and it's still a three-team race. The Blackhawks can finish as high as the division champions to as low as the first wild-card spot. The Hawks need to win against the Blues to keep their chances at a division title alive. The Blues can clinch the division with a win in any fashion AND with a Predators loss in regulation.
