“That’s what we’re playing for now, to spoil hopes, as bad as it sounds,” said Eberle. “You have to find something that really gets you up for games. And that’s it.

“It’s not the ideal situation. It’s not where you want to be. You want to be fighting for a playoff spot. But at least you get a chance to take other teams down with you, as bad as that sounds.

“These are huge games. They bring you into a playoff atmosphere and it’s great.”
