If the Wings had beaten the Knights in regulation, Vegas would have 70 points in 62 games now. The Oilers have 68 points in 62 games. There was no possible outcome of tonight's games that would put the Oilers ahead of Vegas.
As it is, Vegas now has 72 points. Vegas is four times as far ahead of Edmonton as Edmonton is ahead of Seattle – and Seattle still holds a game in hand.
I should have thought a ‘mathgod’ could handle that kind of simple arithmetic.
