They currently sit just five points out of the final wild-card position. They have not lost a game in regulation over their last 10 games, posting a record of 6-0-4. This includes a controversial overtime loss to the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/blackhawks\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chicago Blackhawks<\/a>.
