Of the remaining schedules for the four relevant Pacific Division teams, San Jose (.655) and Calgary (.650) have the best records against the teams we have yet to play. LA (.578) is third and Vancouver (.552) is fourth. If those percentages held true for the remaining schedules, Calgary would finish at 97 points, Vancouver 96 and LA and San Jose tied at 94.
Problem is that Vancovuer has three left against the Coyotes and one vs. Edmonton, so that is pretty much eight free points. Calgary has only two games against those two, LA four and San Jose three.
San Jose has a big, ugly seven game road trip coming up that looks similar to the one we are on now.
