What Sets Each Western Conference Contender Apart?

On today's episode of Locked on NHL, Seth Toupal and Nick Morgan look at what separates each Western Conference contender apart from the rest of the field. They discuss the elite top line play Vancouver has had to compliment their overall forward depth. Seth and Nick discuss Colorado's top six, while also noting concerns about their goaltending. They also discuss Dallas having similar issues, with Jake Oettinger struggling at times throughout the year. Seth and Nick discuss the Jets' ability to prevent teams from scoring, as well as the Nashville Predators putting themselves firmly in the conversation with the run they've been on for the last 17 games. Seth and Nick look at current playoff matchups and why a 1 through 8 seeding method is sorely missed.
