They only need to win 5 if it happens in regulation. .. Minus the number of games the sharks lose.
I actually think 3 regulation wins will probably do it. And that would be the sharks going 5-2 which is a reach the way they are playing.
That said the teams coming in are out of the playoffs but the ducks, kings and Canucks are not the Sens... They are fighting down the stretch and winning games. It's not a foregone conclusion.
