Saturday is the biggest day yet in the NHL playoff races.

The Eastern Conference wild-card race has a logjam of teams stuck on 88 points. One or two results will flip the entire complexion of the race.

The most important game of the day takes place in San Jose, where the Sharks host the Nashville Predators in a battle of Western Conference wild-card contenders.

A handful of other teams in the West are still involved in the wild-card race, but if San Jose can keep up its recent momentum, it could sail away from its competition.
