Current pace is 94 points (12 games over .500) with San Jose as the pace setters
problem with that is that it assumes teams over .500 will play at .500 to be tied, it doesn't factor in games in hand

if San Jose wins 2 games and gets to +11, they haven't tied the Jets, because now the Jets have 2 games in hand

I think looking at max points attainable or vice versa points lost is better

Chicago 32
Vancouver 33
Winnipeg 36
Calgary 39
SJ 40

LA 40
Dallas 41
Colorado 46
