PLAYOFF PICTURE AS OF ALL-STAR BREAK

This is what the playoff picture looks like during the all-star break this weekend, followed by other teams that are still in the hunt. The Philadelphia Flyers currently hold the best record in the league, with the Vancouver Canucks at a very close second.

Speaking of Red Wings, Steve Yzerman, now running the Tampa Bay Lightning, has done the same thing.
