All the California teams I think are still in the thick of it. Sure people have a game or two on Anaheim, but with 28 games there is a lot of wiggle room.
If I had to guess, I would expect LA to rise in the standing, particularly when they get Jeff Carter back. Without Mackinnon I would expect Colorado to go into a little dip. Chicago just doesn't have the goaltending to make the push. Once everyone gets down to 20 games or so I think we will know who will be involved in that final push.
