With less than a month left in the 2025-26 NHL regular season, fans have been closely watching the standings to keep track of the current playoff matchups -- and how they could shift in the final weeks.

Unless something truly disastrous happens for any of the top three teams in the Central Division, the Utah Mammoth's most likely path to a playoff spot is via the wild card. And as of now, it's looking more likely than not that their subsequent first-round opponent will be the winner of the Pacific Division.
