The problem for them is that the pacific slots are not open to them, unlike for Vegas. Edmonton and LA are more ripe for the picking. But Winnipeg has to deal with having to beat one of the significantly better central teams just to get in.
Chances are much better for Vegas because the division is Calgary then a bunch of mediocre. Two pretty different scenarios.
There's a reason why very few teams historically get in if they're below the line this late into the season.
