I think Vancouver winning in regulation is the best possible OOT scoreboard result... correct me if I'm mistaken. Because they hold onto the reg win tonight, they only have 1 game in hand and still cannot catch us even if they win it.

However, we need Nashville to burn as many games on hand as they can. Since they lose in regulation tonight, they still have 3 games on hand vs us, but would need to get 4 pts from those 3 games to tie the Flames.

That game on Thursday might have massive hidden playoff implications for the West that won't become evident until the last few weeks of the season. St. Louis is in a bit of a funk, with goaltending problems. That makes it more of a race for the last Central spot.
