That team could very well be out of a playoff spot a few days after the Olympic break ends.

Anaheim actually has 2 games in hand.
Coming out of the break it would be wonderful for Seattle, Anaheim, and LA go on a bit of a run. Wouldn't hurt for Utah to keep going to secure that first WC spot. Would love the scenario at the end of the year for the Oilers to be on the outside looking in and if they do get in, get Colorado as their prize for making it to the playoffs.
