I think in order to win down the stretch they need one of the non-big 3 dmen to step up. Engelland has so far meaning that we are top 4 heavy but it is doable. Ideally Engelland would continue his streak and Smid or Wootherspoon would come in to stabilize the 3rd pairing with Diaz/Schlemko. I think the third pairing worked best with one PMD and one defensive presence.

Remaining schedule has the following very winnable games: Sens, Leafs, Avsx2, Stars, Oilers, Yotes, BJs. Let's say we drop one of those games. If so, to reach 96 points then we only need to get 8 points off the remaining schedule that still has some tough games but also some very winnable, especially if teams fall off pace.
