Based on point percentage they are a bit out of the pacific spot with Vegas (.731), LA (.679), and Vancouver (.682) all having decent starts - for comparison last year it was Vancouver (.665) , Edmonton (.634), and LA (.604).
So the top 3 in the Pacific are all playing at a higher clip than the top 3 did last year right now.
The real thing is the lack of depth in the West - so Edmonton probably can string together enough of a stretch to get into a wild card spot at least.
