Really between those 3 and Dallas, there is very little to chose from. I'd argue that Dallas having Zuccarello come back gives them a pretty substantial boost.
For a lot of the year it looked like 3 of the top 4 teams were in the Pacific. But when the Standings are finalized, it might be that the 2-3-4-5 teams are all fighting each other in the first round in the Central.
Both of those series should be very competitive. I expect that we could see St.Louis and Dallas as the two teams who move on.

I don't believe that to be the case, and think that all three of SJ, Calgary and VGK are likely to beat the four top Central teams in a playoff series. The Pacific Division completely owned the Central Division this year.
