Through the remainder of the regular season, we'll take a look at how the night's action impacts the playoff race, highlighting which teams' postseason odds went up or down significantly.
While the Vegas Golden Knights stole headlines by qualifying for the postseason in their inaugural campaign, there was some considerable changes in the odds for the bubble teams vying for playoff position.
