Notes:
* Who's hot - Eastern Conference: NY Rangers. The Rangers have earned points in each of their last 12 games, and only trail 5th place Ottawa by two points.
* Who's Hot - Western Conference: San Jose. The Sharks are riding a 9-game winning streak, and are only one point behind Pacific Division leading Dallas with three games in hand. They'd be doing even better if this most recent run hadn't been preceded by a 5-game losing streak.
* Who's not - Eastern Conference: Boston. The Bruins have lost three of their last 4 games, getting outscored 21-6.
* Who's not - Western Conference: Nashville. The Predators have lost 5 of their last 8 games, and have slipped out of the playoffs for now. They are tied with Vancouver with 78 points, but the Canucks have two games in hand.
