Otherwise they are left focusing on STL, and the Blues schedule is cake after they clear California. Looks like the Kings are going to have to run the table against Alberta if they have a hope. We should know whether the Flames are fighting for playoff position or life before they leave on the eastern swing. strength of schedule puts us in one of the worse positions, but the roll and the 10 point cushion should make it extremely difficult for the Kings to catch us. Still not in until the math makes it impossible, but the Kings are on life support. They didn't look very good against a pretty disinterested Blues squad.

Well the Kings got 3 of 4 points against the teams mentioned which makes their Sun. and Mon. games in Alberta very interesting. I wouldn't say the Blues sched is cake, but, they do play 3 games against the Avs which looks like they'll get 5-6 points.
