Looking more and more like 96 points to get in after last night. Teams would need the following records for that:
Chicago: 4-10 IN
Wild: 6-6-1 Likely IN
Canucks: 7-7 Likely IN
Flames: 7-5-1 Battling for 2 spots
Jets: 8-4-1 Battling for 2 spots (really 8-5, but they have a low ROW)
Kings: 8-5-1 Battling for 2 spots
Sharks: 10-3 ALMOST DONE
Avalanche: 10-2-1 ALMOST DONE
Stars: 11-2-0 ALMOST DONE
I believe 2 out of Calgary, Winnipeg and LA will have a winning record, but I don't see the Jets going 8-4-1 or higher (hopefully!!). Therefore to me it looks like 96. To put this another way using the Troutman simplified counting system: 7
Side Note: While we have an easier schedule, it looks like we will be the ones eliminating Dallas and Colorado. Not mathematically, but from the 96 point threshold. Those will be tough games.
