...call me crazy, but all of a sudden OIL goaltending could be a difference maker in the playoffs.

Don’t for a second begin to believe in this tandem. They’ll just let you down the second you start. Low expectations is key!
Meanwhile, our magic number is down to 5 points. Can be 4 if the Blue Jackets do us a favour versus the Kings tonight…
|
While technically right now it’s 5, that game against Dallas on weds flat out bones both Vegas and Vancouver- no matter the outcome.
So the magic number is actually 4
|
How? If we were only to win 2 games, and the Knights were to sweep their remaining games, then they finish with 99 and we finish with 98. It is conceivable that if we only go 2-4 or worse, that Dallas, Nashville and Los Angeles could all pass us too. We're probably in with as little as a 97 points, but if gets close in a hurry.
There's a Dallas/Vegas game yet, so one of them will lose 1-2 points there but if Vegas wins that, Dallas still has enough other games remaining to pass us if we really falter.
Vancouver is already virtually toast. I think Winnipeg becomes officially out in the next day or so.
Worst schedule to finish the year is Nashville - Calgary, Tampa, Minny, Calgary, Colorado, Arizona. They could easily lose 4-5 of those games assuming teams don't rest their good players.
I think the Oilers are virtually in. Next most likely is the Stars, and then it's a three-sided coin toss between Vegas, LA and Nashville.
