If you win your divisional season series and tie most of the cross-conference series, you've probably made the playoffs. You're going to lose some to bad teams that you can make up in a rematch and you're going to fluke some away from better teams that they're going to make up a rematch. So far the following season series have been decided:
VS Pacific:
Arizona 4-0-0 (1GR)
VS Central:
Chicago 1-2-0 (Complete)
Minnesota 2-0-0 (1GR)
Colorado 2-0-0 (1GR)
VS East:
Columbus 1-1-0 (Complete)
Buffalo 1-1-0 (Complete)
Just gotta win 3 of 5 against the Canucks and you've still won the season series. Or at least go 1-0-1 in the next two games to tie that series in points, though that's not preferable in a division matchup.
