Washington will represent the south east. They play at home against Carolina tonight. A win and they are tied in points. Washington then plays Tampa and Florida the night after Carolina plays them and Florida has to travel to Washingon. Also they have Ovechkin.
Buffalo will not make it with three road games against 2 playoff teams and toronto. They lose the win tie break against Ottawa and both Philly and Boston are playing better and only need one win to eliminate Buffalo.
Therefore Buffalo and Carolina go home earlier.
The west is trickier.
Chicago is out with two games against Detroit and have to win the last three and then get some help.
Edmonton is out as only two games left but they can make it close.
Nashville is in. Two games against lowly St Louis and one against Chicago. So who do they displace.
Colorado is in as they play a resting Minnesota and the teams below them are fighting against each other.
Calgary Vancouver - both are playing lowsy hockey. Calgary is on the road for the last three games. Vancouver is home the last three games. Now that Loungo's child is born he may be more focused. I think Vancouver wins on Saturday and eliminates the Flames.
Calgary, Edmonton, Chicago go home early.
