Based on last year, 3 more losses wouldn't change their standings at all.
They were 10 pts ahead of the Oilers and 25 pts ahead of the Sabres
And they are looking like they could well be a better team this year. And several other teams look like they might be substantially worse.
Moving down 2 or 3 spots in the standings would probably require getting less than 65 pts. They will probably get much closer to 85 than 65
