Nine of the 16 postseason spots have been clinched. As many as five more could be clinched depending on results from the crowded slate of 15 games that kicks off the final weekend of the regular season.
In the Eastern Conference, five of the eight spots have already been locked up. Two more could be clinched Saturday by teams currently in wild-card position.
The Boston Bruins (43-26-10, 96 points) have three different paths to a Saturday clinch of what would likely be a wild-card spot. The simplest path would be a win of any kind against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
They could also clinch with an overtime loss to Tampa Bay if the New Jersey Devils defeat the Detroit Red Wings paired with either an Ottawa Senators defeat of the New York Islanders or a Winnipeg Jets win over the Philadelphia Flyers. Boston can even clinch with a regulation loss if the Devils beat the Red Wings in regulation and either the Senators or Jets win in regulation.
Ottawa (42-27-10, 94 points) enters Saturday in the second wild-card spot and three points clear of the bubble. The Senators have a simpler clinching path, only able to do so with a win over the Islanders paired with a Red Wings loss to New Jersey.
Four spots in the Western Conference have already been locked up, including all three guaranteed spots for the Central Division. Entering Saturday, no Pacific Division teams have officially clinched a playoff spot, but all three teams atop the division will have the chance to lock up their spots on Saturday.
The Edmonton Oilers (40-29-10, 90 points) will clinch if they earn at least one point against the Los Angeles Kings or if the Jets-Flyers game has any outcome besides a regulation win for Winnipeg.
The simplest path for the Vegas Golden Knights (36-26-17, 89 points) to clinch their eighth postseason berth in nine seasons of existence is a win of any kind against Colorado. However, they can also clinch if they take an overtime loss to the Avalanche, the Flyers beat the Jets and the Minnesota Wild beat the Nashville Predators.
Regardless of its own result, Vegas can also clinch if the Flyers and Wild both win in regulation and the Vancouver Canucks beat the San Jose Sharks.
The Anaheim Ducks (42-32-5, 89 points) are one of two teams not playing Saturday but could punch their first playoff ticket since 2017-18 while idle. For that to happen, the Canucks would need to beat the Sharks in any way while the Flyers and Wild would need to win in regulation.

Indian paddler Manika Batra exited from the WTT Contender Taiyuan on Friday after losing to Japan’s Miu Hirano in a Round of 16 clash.
World No. 36 Hirano blanked Manika 3-0 (11-9, 11-7, 11-8) in quick time, wrapping up the win in little over 26 minutes.
In the previous round, World No. 49 Manika defeated World No. 25 Miyuu Kihara 3-2 (11-8, 10-12, 14-12, 9-11, 11-7) in 43 minutes.
In that match, Manika led 6-2 in the second game after bagging the opener easily. However, Kihara managed to fight back, saving two game points before levelling the match.
The Japanese player was on her way to steal the third game as well as she won three points in a row from 8-10 down but this time, the Indian held her nerve to eventually take a 2-1 lead in the fixture.
Kihara edged out Manika in a closely-fought fourth game, forcing a decider.
From 3-3 in the fifth game, Manika dictated terms and converted her first match point to secure her maiden win over Kihara in their third meeting.

Apr 10, 2026; Augusta, Georgia, USA; Scottie Scheffler tees off on the ninth hole during the second round of the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club. Mandatory Credit: Michael Madrid-Imagn Images AUGUSTA, Ga. — Scottie Scheffler had battled his way back from a poor start in the second round and was staring at a prime scoring opportunity on Friday when he made a decision that might have sunk his chances to win the 2026 Masters.
Scheffler dropped back to even par for the tournament with two bogeys through his first five holes on Friday, but rebounded with birdies at No. 8 and another at the difficult 10th hole at Augusta National. He holed a clutch par putt on No. 11 and was even through the first two holes of “Amen Corner” when he walked up to his drive on the par-5 13th hole.
Despite watching playing partner Robert MacIntyre put one in Rae’s Creek in front of the green just before him, Scheffler stuck with his decision to go for the green. It’s not his typical shot shape, but Scheffler liked the draw lie with a 3-iron to a back right pin location.
Then came a poor swing, Scheffler’s ball failed to draw the way he envisioned and also hopped into the creek. With the short angle he was left, Scheffler chose to use the drop zone, which was a longer chip. He failed to get up and down, and carded a bogey on one of Augusta National’s easiest holes.
“Probably my only shot I would rather be able to hit again. Maybe a different decision there,” Scheffler said. “That’s a tough shot, but I felt like I could make something happen to that pin.
“To that pin specifically that’s a shot that I could get in there close, so I felt like it was worth the risk of going for it.”
Scheffler also bogeyed the par-5 15th hole when his approach bounded off the green and into the water, leading to a 2-over 74 that marks the second-highest score in 18 career rounds at the Masters.
“I felt like I played a lot better than my score,” Scheffler said. “Just the little things that I felt like I was close to having a really, really good round today. Just a few things here or there that, you know, poor swing on 13 and then a few breaks that didn’t go my way.
“The margins are small.”
Scheffler planned to hit the practice facility before heading back to rest. He’ll need to take advantage of an earlier tee time on Saturday and make his move before the front page of the leaderboard tees off.
“You can’t force anything around this place,” Scheffler said. “I definitely struck it well enough to have a really, really nice round today, so go get a bit of practice, get some rest, and get ready for tomorrow.”

Punjab Kings is the team in form; Sunrisers Hyderabad, not so much.
Does that mean that PBKS (two wins and a No Result) starts as the heavy favourite against SRH (one victory and two losses) when the two sides clash in an IPL 2026 match at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium here on Saturday? Not really.
A glance at the scorecard from the last time these two teams met (Hyderabad, April 12, 2025) provides necessary context.
Sunrisers, coming off a four-match losing streak, hunted down the 246-run target with nine balls and eight wickets to spare, thanks to a 55-ball 141 from Abhishek Sharma.

Since then, not much has changed in terms of personnel in the Sunrisers batting line-up. In fact, it has only added more firepower with the acquisition of Liam Livingstone.
It is this reputation that keeps Sunrisers alive in any contest.
Abhishek’s whirlwind knock is still fresh in PBKS batter Shashank Singh’s mind. On the learnings from that game, Shashank said, “Abhishek’s innings that day in Hyderabad was one of the best I’ve ever seen in the IPL. We look at videos to see what lengths we could’ve bowled, but not in a way where we stress on the result. There is no hard-and-fast rule that this is how we analyse a match, but we do take learnings from every game.”
This is where PBKS will rely on skipper Shreyas Iyer’s experience.
The 31-year-old will do well to guide the young PBKS willow-wielders on the approach needed against the batting-heavy Sunrisers.
Another factor is dew being out of the equation in this afternoon fixture, which should empower SRH pacers Jaydev Unadkat and Harshal Patel to use their biggest weapons — cutters and change of pace — more effectively.
Past results suggest that SRH holds the edge over PBKS (a 17-7 win-loss record).
The question remains: will history trump recent form?
