Less than a month remains in the NHL's regular season, and the playoff hunt is heating up for several teams on the bubble in the East.

With the Bruins owning a four-point cushion over the Maple Leafs for the first wild-card spot entering the weekend, the Leafs have little room for comfort with the Islanders and Lightning trailing just one point behind. The Flyers and Panthers remain alive at six and seven points back, respectively.

For fans looking to be on hand as each team makes its case for a playoff spot, the biggest demand for tickets exists in Toronto. On TicketIQ, Maple Leafs tickets are averaging nearly $300 for remaining games at Air Canada Centre. The Leafs will play their most expensive home game against the Penguins on April 8, where tickets average $465. A March 28 game with the Panthers is the cheapest at a $220 average.

The Islanders continued their see-sawing year on Thursday after dropping a pivotal game to the Jets at home. They'll play five more home games at Barclays Center this season and own the second most expensive prices among all bubble teams in the East. Islanders tickets at home currently average $102, with a March 25 game the most expensive at an average price of $135. A matchup with the Predators two days later is the cheapest remaining at a $72 average.

The Bolts have had a similar year of ups and downs, watching Steven Stamkos fall victim to a long-term injury and looking like a ghost of last year’s team that reached Game 7 of the Conference Finals. They remain on the cusp of the second wild-card spot, however, and tickets at Amalie Arena are averaging $100 through the end of the season. Notable games include a March 27 matchup with the Blackhawks ($176 average) and March 19 against the Hurricanes ($62 average). Additional savings can be found on the TicketIQ app.

Though on the outside looking in, the Flyers and Panthers still remain in the playoff conversation. The two teams are posting relatively cheap prices through the end of the season, with Flyers tickets averaging $88 and Panthers tickets at $77. The Panthers will play the 'Canes on March 21 in the cheapest game of all playoff-bubble teams with tickets averaging just $48.
