2015 playoffs:
Teams out of playoffs in top 16:
Colorado - 5th in sv%
Boston - 6th in sv% (9th in east, missed by 2 pts)
New Jersey - 7th
Florida - 13th (10th in east, but 7 pts out)
In playoffs:
Vancouver - 17th
Tampa - 19th
Detroit - 21st
Anaheim - 24th
2014:
Washington - 6th (9th in east, 3 pts out)
Toronto - 9th
Buffalo - 10th
Arizona - 16th (9th in west, 2 pts out)
in playoffs:
