SJ is coming on and Couture is back now, ANA has more than they've shown, they are always better in the 2nd half, ARI just doesn't seem to want to stop winning they are 7-1-2 in their last 10.

Playoff chances are looking pretty grim to me despite the fact we're only 4 back.

The OOT results weren't that bad. You're just mentioning the division, don't forget about the conference. The Preds are not playing well and the Flames are only 5 back of them for the 2nd wild card spot. The Preds, Avs, Jets, and even the Wild all lost in reg time. That's good for the Flames.
