Welcome to the tightest conference standings race in college hockey.

It's true that the WCHA has two teams tied for first place, but with each team still to play its final four games of the regular season, the ECAC is the only conference in Division I in which six points separate second place and eighth.

No other conference in the country has five teams within two points of one another.
