Murder’s Row March has ended! 11/20 of the final games completed.
Section 1: Schedule update
Marching down the stretch: 9 games remaining
- Expected Wins: Ducks (H), Sharks (A), Ducks (A), Sharks (H),
- Likely Wins: UHC (A),
- Likely Losses: Wild (H), Golden Knights (H2), Kings (A),
- Expected Losses: Golden Knights (H1),
Updated results for the final 20 games of the season
- Confirmed Wins: Canadiens (H), Rangers (A)*, Devils (A)*, Islanders (A), Kraken (H), Avalanche (A)*,
- Confirmed OTL: Canucks (H)*, Oilers (A)*,
- Confirmed Losses: Avalanche (H), Maple Leafs (A), Stars (H),
*Defied expectation
The last two games of March have gone better than expected and the team is 6-3-2 so far in the final 20 games. Walking away with 3 of 4 points against the Oilers and Avs when the expectation was 0 was necessary to stay in the playoff conversation. Now the team needs to wrap up the road trip with a win against UHC.
Section 2: Playoff standings update- The Wild hold WC1, sitting at 88 points and 75 games played
- The Blues are in WC2, sitting at 87 points and 75 games played
- Flames are 5 points back (82 points) with 2 games in hand on the Blues and Wild (71 games played)
- Canucks are at 81 points and 74 games played
- UHC are at 78 points and 74 games played
Flames need help now to bring down the Blues or Wild. They need to get ahead of one of these teams as they do not have the tiebreaker right now in either RW or ROW.
Section 3: Tankathon update- Wild have the 28th hardest remaining schedule (L10 = 4-4-2)
- Blues have the 16th hardest remaining schedule (L10 = 9-1-0)
- Flames have the 24th hardest remaining schedule (L10 = 5-3-2)
- Canucks have the 12th hardest remaining schedule (L10 = 5-3-2)
- UHC have the 18th hardest remaining schedule (L10 = 5-4-1)
Wild and Flames have easier remaining schedule but the Blues are on a 9 game win streak and are not interested in slowing down. Hopefully either the Red Wings and Penguins can put up a fight against the Blues while the NY teams can try to do the same against the Wild.
Section 4: "Top10 draft" update
Meh. 8 point gap.
Section 5: Other 1st round pick update
Devils are 14OA in the standings (no change) – 32nd hardest schedule remaining
Panthers are 10OA in the standings (1 spot drop) – 19th hardest schedule remaining
