16 games left. Mixed bag schedule with a lot of non-playoff teams (ARIx2, TOR, EDM, VAN, WPG, MTL) a few top teams (ANA, LAK, STL, CHI) and a few playoff wildcard teams in MINx2 and NSH.
What's our record down the stretch?
According to sportsclubstats.com, here are some interesting percentages relating our record with our position in the final standings.

7-7-2: 23% of 5th last, 39% chance of 4th last, 26% of 3rd last, 5% of 2nd last
6-8-2: 21% chance of 4th last, 44% chance of 3rd last, 28% of 2nd last, 3% of last
5-9-2: 26% chance of 3rd last, 52% chance of 2nd last, 18% chance of last
I'm skeptical we could go .500. How far under .500 do we end up?
The games against ARIx2, TOR, EDM, VAN, and WPG will be key in the Tank Wars. I'm guessing we start Backstrom/Hiller in a few of them
