They have one game against a guaranteed non-playoff team (Toronto).
They also have one game each against Winnipeg, Calgary, and LA and there's a good chance that one of those three teams will just miss the playoffs, but all three can basically be considered "playoff teams" at this point.
Most of the playoff teams they're playing are also still jockeying for playoff seeding position, so they're not likely to be coasting to the finish line, which can sometimes make a strong team easier to beat down the stretch.
