They are 6. So 17-8 wouldn't be the bar.
Probably something like 15-8-2 for 41-28-13 on the season (95 pts)
Still a tall task the way they're going, but not as steep as you're suggesting

It's a big swing to suggest the 8th seed will be locked in at 95 points. It could happen, but it is just as likely that it takes 97 or 98 points to lock it up as that was the bar last year.
At any rate, this team hasn't won 4 straight all season so there's really nothing to suggest it is suddenly going to happen with or without better goaltending. You still have a flaccid PP and lackluster 5-5 offence that needs to seriously improve in order to get anywhere close to the playoffs.
