Do the Kings finally leave their push too late to secure a spot? Are the Flames good enough to push out the defending champs? Without Voynov, some believe too much has been put on Doughty's shoulders and defensively the Kings are weaker than in years past. Or are Daryl and co still too good to be ousted when all is said and done?

Are the Jets bound to fall back down to earth to the perennial .500 team they've been for many seasons, or can they actually maintain the level of hockey they're playing? I still haven't bought into them being good enough to be in a top 8 spot in the west when the dust settles, but who knows.

Can the Sharks or Canucks be caught yet, or have they gone into playoff mode now? I think an argument can be made that the Canucks are still in a bit of a funk, despite beating the lowly Flyers.

One thing is for sure, in order for the Flames to secure their first berth in 6 years, one of these top 8 will need to be displaced.
