NHL West Playoff Teams Set

by, Billy Mumphrey



 

With the final week and a half ending on the NHL 2016-17 Season, the West Playoff teams have been solidified. Although, their rankings and pairings could be widely different than they stand now. With 3 or 4 games left in the season and the rankings being so close, what we are seeing is a final finish here for home ice advantage, which could be very important later down the road. The teams in the west are so close together points-wise that there are more than a few scenarios that could play out. But here is a look at the final 8 Teams left in the west and the Regular Season games they have left for seeding.
