It is going to be a tough road. They need to continue to roll if they want to make the playoffs.

Not really. If they play .500 hockey from here on in they have like a 99% chance of making the playoffs.
Say they win 3 of 4 against the bottom feeders and then go a mediocre 5-7 against the better teams, they are good to go. Even that I have a hard time seeing considering how well they're playing. I'd say they're in a pretty damn good spot.
Smells like playoffs to me.
