All three teams are playing some really mediocre hockey, seeming reasonable thanks to loser points. The team that sucks the least in the next 7-8 games will get in. Was hoping for a heater like the Oilers are on, but out-sucking the other two teams may be enough to get in, which is the goal of the hockey club. Just get in and you never know. Over the last 20 games the Flames are in the middle of the two playing at .550 clip for point accrual compared to Winnipeg's .400 and Nashville's .600. Preds have a very slight edge thanks to the game in hand.
