Oilers Playoff Magic Number: 1️⃣ point

...

Oilers would clinch a playoff spot tomorrow with a Jets loss of any kind.

*If the Jets lose in OT, they and the Preds both can get a max of 98 pts. But they play each other on April 8 and someone will lose at least 1 point. Oilers, at 97 pts, have the tiebreaker on both teams.


I'm pretty sure Iwanyk is wrong, because we'd only need to be passed by the Jets and Kraken to be out of the playoffs, and the Jets can still get to 99 points if they run the table.

On top of that, were they to win all their games and the Oilers to tie them, the Jets would have 48 wins to the Oilers 44 or 45, which means the Jets have the tiebreaker, I think. We currently have more ROW than they do (44-40) but chances are good they'd be ahead of us there too if they ran the table and we had one or no more ROWs.

So by my math, our magic number is still 3. If the Jets lose tomorrow, then it's down to 2.


If Kraken and Jets pass Oilers, they would still be in 8th.
