Of the games that actually matter to us, here's the possible outcome:
- Oilers win over Jets
- Lightning win over Kings
- Wild win over Canucks
Obviously, all three (except the last one, see below) would be best if concluded in regulation time. Three-point games could be a real pain in the ass for us in the remaining stretch towards the playoffs.

If Minnesota wins, they have the same number of points as us, but will still be lower in the standings thanks to us having more Regulation & Overtime wins (ROW). If Vancouver wins (in regulation) and we win, we stay put because Vancouver will have more ROW than us.
In fact... now that I think about it, I think it might actually be to our benefit if the game ends in a shootout - preferably in favor of the Wild.
Minnesota gets two points, Vancouver only gets one, but neither team gets a ROW.
