- The Wild Card spots are currently a 3 way tie for the two spots
- Then 3 more teams are within 2 points of the WC spot
- The Pens are 4 points back, Red Wings are 5 points back, and even the Islanders are only 7 points back with a game in hand.
Currently the Flames are equal to 10th in the East, sitting right below the 3-way tie.
If this keeps up, 9th place in the West could be a top 10 draft pick (haha, not really... probably).
