If the playoffs started today, Minnesota and Phoenix would double-crossover, so Phoenix could win the Central Division and Minnesota the Pacific: http://www.nhl.com/ice/stanleycup.htm |
Exactly. And if Dallas ends up with more points than Phoenix and the Central sends 5 teams to the playoffs then St. Louis (assuming they have the most points in the conference at the end of the season) would play the #5 team from the Central division and the #4 seed would move to the Pacific where they would remain for the rest of the playoffs.
