2024 NHL playoffs: Bracket, updated standings, latest playoff picture and more

The Pacific Division-leading Vancouver Canucks can end their three-year playoff drought and clinch a postseason berth Monday night - with some help.

The early part of the week is also important in the Eastern Conference as the Florida Panthers host the Boston Bruins Tuesday night with the winner taking sole possession of the lead in the Atlantic Division. The Panthers' Sam Reinhart scored his 50th goal on Sunday and the Bruins' David Pastrnak has a team-high 44 goals. Florida has a game in hand.

Also that night, the Washington Capitals host the Detroit Red Wings , who trail them by a point in the battle for the second wild-card spot in the East. The Capitals are led by surging Alex Ovechkin but are missing suspended Tom Wilson . Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin is back from injury and the team has gone 3-2 since ending a seven-game losing streak. Washington has a game in hand.

With fewer than four weeks left in the NHL regular season, here's where the playoff races stand as of the morning of March 25 ( full standings here ):

Who can clinch a playoff berth tonight?

The Canucks will clinch if they defeat the Los Angeles Kings and the St. Louis Blues lose to the Vegas Golden Knights. Vancouver can also clinch if it gets one point against Los Angeles and St. Louis loses to Vegas in regulation. 

The Blues-Golden Knights game is also important to those teams because St. Louis trails Vegas by four points in the race for the second wild-card spot in the West.

China’s Dispute With Taiwan Is Playing Out Near This Frontline Island

A fatal episode off Kinmen, a Taiwanese-controlled island, has become the latest occasion for Beijing to warn and test Taiwan’s president-elect.

By Chris Buckley and Amy Chang Chien

Reporting from Kinmen, Taiwan

A small island controlled by Taiwan a few miles off China’s coast lived for decades in constant readiness for war. At one point in 1958, troops there hunkered in bunkers as Communist forces rained hundreds of thousands of shells on them.

These days, the island, Kinmen, has become a hub of Taiwan’s commerce with China and its abandoned, weatherworn fortifications are tourist sites. Eight ferries a day take Taiwanese businesspeople and visitors from Kinmen to mainland China.

But the sea around Kinmen has again turned tense after two Chinese men onboard a speedboat died in the area last month while trying to flee a Taiwanese Coast Guard vessel.

The Chinese Coast Guard has responded by patrolling close to the island, and briefly boarded a Taiwanese tourist boat last month. In mid-March, four boats came as close as 3.5 miles off Kinmen’s shore , entering what Taiwan calls a prohibited zone.

China has said the patrols are to protect Chinese fishing boats. But the patrols also fit more broadly with China’s strategy of squeezing Taiwan, an island-democracy that Beijing claims as its territory, while stopping short of setting off a major confrontation that would draw in the United States.

Beijing has been stepping up such “gray zone” tactics to warn Taiwan’s president-elect , Lai Ching-te — a politician deeply disliked by Chinese leaders — as he prepares to take office in two months, experts, politicians and officials in Taiwan said in interviews and briefings.

“With Lai Ching-te’s inauguration on May 20, mainland China is definitely going to steadily, consistently raise the pressure,” said Chen Yu-jen , a member of Taiwan’s legislature from the opposition Nationalist Party who represents an electorate on Kinmen, in an interview with The New York Times.

Beijing asserts that Taiwan must accept unification, preferably peacefully, but under armed force if Chinese leaders decide that is necessary. Mr. Lai’s Democratic Progressive Party rejects China’s claim to Taiwan, and argues that the island-democracy will chart its own course — self-ruling in practice, even if most governments do not recognize Taiwan as a separate state.

Some pushback from China over the deaths of the two Chinese men on Feb. 14 near Kinmen was foreseeable, especially given that Taiwan is always kindling for nationalist ire. Chinese officials are now waiting for a report from Taiwanese investigators into the episode; tensions could climb if Beijing disputes their conclusions.

Taiwanese officials have said that the unlicensed Chinese speedboat entered Taiwanese waters near Kinmen, ignored demands from a Taiwanese Coast Guard vessel to stop, and tried to race away. Taiwanese officials have said the two men who died had drowned . Two Chinese survivors told Chinese media that the Taiwanese vessel collided with them, while the Taiwanese Coast Guard said the two boats “made contact” at times during the chase.

The Chinese government has made demands on behalf of the dead men’s families, including for an apology and compensation. Chinese officials have complained that the Taiwanese Coast Guard vessel did not take video of the encounter, and accused Taiwan of dragging its feet in its investigation.

Incursions of Chinese fishing boats and smugglers around Kinmen have long been a source of friction. Chinese fishing boats are supposed to stay out of Taiwan’s zone around Kinmen and smaller nearby islands, but for years some flouted the restrictions, said Tung Sen-pao, a local councilor on the island.

“They came over here to fish with explosives, electric lines, gill nets, a lot of that kind of thing,” he said. Chinese dredgers, he added, also often stole sand, which can be sold to make concrete.

More recently, tougher enforcement by the Taiwanese Coast Guard, which has seized and impounded intruding Chinese vessels, helped reduce the violations, Taiwanese officials said.

In less tense times, local representatives on Kinmen and in the Chinese province of Fujian, on the other side of the strait, might have been able to quickly settle disputes such as that of the recent deaths. But mutual distrust between China and Taiwan is running high, and Beijing is especially touchy ahead of Mr. Lai’s inauguration.

Chinese officials have also sought to use the episode for political points and to undermine Taiwan’s boundaries. They have denied that Taiwan has a right to restrict access to waters off Kinmen, despite longstanding arrangements on that point. And Chinese Communist Party officials and news outlets have tied the deaths to Mr. Lai and his Democratic Progressive Party’s resistance to China.

The Chinese government’s Taiwan Affairs Office accused Democratic Progressive Party politicians of callousness and of “trying to shirk responsibility,” in a statement justifying the latest Chinese Coast Guard patrols off Kinmen. It warned that China reserved the right to respond further.

The Chinese Coast Guard service is under military control , and its ships can carry cannons and other weapons. Beijing has also been deploying them in territorial disputes with Japan and the Philippines . Chinese media publicized last week that the coast guard had also recently participated in training with naval ships under the Eastern Theater Command — the military area that encompasses Taiwan.

Lee Wen-chi, a Kinmen fisherman who had returned to shore on a recent day with two buckets of sea bass, said that he and other fisherman kept well away from the Chinese Coast Guard ships, moving on if they spotted one in the distance.

“If you get too close to them, they’ll think that you’re up to no good,” he said. “I avoid them as much as I can.”

These days, Taiwan stations only a few thousand troops on Kinmen, giving Kinmen little immediate protection if China ever decided to invade. Taiwan’s fisheries agency announced that troops would hold live-fire drills in the waters off Kinmen, next month . Such drills happen every year, but China may regard the latest ones as a provocation.

Before the Kinmen incident, the Chinese government had already signaled that it would pounce on perceived missteps or provocations by Mr. Lai, who also goes by the name William Lai. Beijing had hoped that he would lose Taiwan’s election in January, ending the Democratic Progressive Party’s eight-year hold on power under the current president, Tsai Ing-wen.

China has warned that it could suspend tariff concessions for some products from Taiwan, including auto parts. Two days after Mr. Lai’s victory, China arranged for Nauru — a tiny Pacific island-state that was one of the dozen or so countries that retain formal diplomatic ties with Taiwan — to shift ties to Beijing. Then China unilaterally altered a commercial air flight route over the Taiwan Strait, a step that officials in Taipei said could make flying in the area more risky.

China has also continued to deploy fighter jets and other military planes near Taiwan almost daily. Larger, more menacing military actions are possible, especially after Mr. Lai’s inauguration.

“They are probing here and there to push the boundaries and create a new normal,” said I-Chung Lai , the president of the Prospect Foundation, a Taiwanese think thank aligned with the Democratic Progressive Party. Any conciliatory messages in Mr. Lai’s inauguration speech were unlikely to shift China’s strategy, he added: “The gray zone operations against Taiwan will become more intense, regardless of what William Lai says.”

Still, China’s leader, Xi Jinping, may not want to push those actions to the point of setting off a full-blown crisis.

Beijing has other ways of politically undermining Mr. Lai and has pointed to his share of votes — 40 percent — to assert that he does not represent Taiwan’s mainstream views. Mr. Xi also has his eye on the United States’ presidential election in November and probably won’t make any big decisions over Taiwan before then, several experts say. And with China’s economy in such poor shape, Mr. Xi would probably rather avoid a major confrontation that could unnerve investors.

“President Xi has a lot of problems that he’s dealing with at home, and if you look back to other episodes when China has dealt with a lot of domestic challenges, they typically have sought to calm their external environment,” said Ryan Hass , the director of the John L. Thornton China Center at the Brookings Institution.

Ncaa men's hockey tournament bracket: randy johnson's picks, predictions and highlights.

March Madness isn't limited to hoops, as 16 hockey teams hit the ice beginning Thursday with hopes of reaching Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul for the NCAA Frozen Four on April 11 and 13. Accurately forecasting a one-and-done hockey tournament is challenging because one bounce of the puck can torpedo a bracket.

Providence Regional

No. 1 seed Boston College over No. 4 Michigan Tech

No. 3 Quinnipiac over No. 2 Wisconsin

Boston College over Quinnipiac

Comment: Boston College features three of the top five scorers in college hockey in Will Smith (23 goals, 44 assists, 67 points), Cutter Gauthier (35-24-69) and Gabe Perreault (18-39-57). That firepower should wear down Michigan Tech and standout goalie Blake Pietila (2.28 goals-against average). … Reigning national champion Quinnipiac went 11-3 down the stretch and looks poised to eliminate Wisconsin, which hasn't played since March 10.

Springfield Regional

No. 1 Denver over No. 4 Massachusetts

No. 3 Cornell over No. 2 Maine

Denver over Cornell

Comment: UMass is the host in Springfield, but that shouldn't bother Denver, which is 8-6 against teams in the NCAA tournament field, including a win at Boston College. … Maine is making its first NCAA appearance since 2012. Cornell boasts goalie Ian Shane, who has a nation's-best 1.70 GAA. … In the final Denver, leading the nation at 4.85 goals per game, avenges last year's first-round loss to Cornell.

Maryland Heights Regional

No. 4 Western Michigan over No. 1 Michigan State

No. 2 North Dakota over No. 3 Michigan

North Dakota over Western Michigan

Comment: This "Region of Death" features teams with a combined 20 NCAA championships. A veteran Western Michigan team knocks off Michigan State, marking the 17th year in the past 18 NCAA tournaments that at least one No. 4 seed has beaten a No. 1. … North Dakota and Michigan each has 11 NHL draft picks on its roster. UND wins a barn burner. … In the final, UND improves to 3-0 vs. the Broncos this season.

Sioux Falls Regional

No. 1 Boston University over No. 4 RIT

No. 2 Gophers over No. 3 Nebraska Omaha

Gophers over Boston University

Comment: BU freshman Macklin Celebrini is tied for second nationally in scoring (31-28-59), while sophomore Lane Hutson (13-33-46) supplies punch from the blue line. The Terriers should handle RIT in the opener. … The Gophers last played Omaha in the 2021 NCAA first round and won 7-2, but expect a tighter game from a Mavericks team that reached the NCHC final. … In the final, Minnesota pulls a mild upset and beats BU for a second year in a row, earning a St. Paul homecoming.

The Frozen Four

Boston College over North Dakota

Denver over Gophers

Denver over Boston College

Comment: A Minnesota team has won the NCAA title each time Xcel Energy Center has been host — the Gophers in 2002, and Minnesota Duluth in 2011 and '18. It's tough to pick against that trend, but here goes. Boston College's scoring depth — six players with 32 or more points — proves too much for North Dakota. … Led by superstar freshman defenseman Zeev Buium, the Pioneers get past the Gophers. … In the championship, Denver outlasts Boston College for its second national title in the past three years.
