The Golden Knights are currently leading the Western Conference.
Since the NHL expanded from the Original Six in 1967 (thus creating 2 conferences) there have been 96 teams leading their conference on Christmas.
All 96 of them made the playoffs.

"I thought it was a good a Golden Knights keep them to the outside defensive style game." -Cassidy
Cassidy says he doesn't think either Thompson or Smith will be available on Saturday.
Says he's really concerned for Logan because he had been out so long.
