OK, so both Calgary and L.A. won while the Oilers got a loser point against the Golden Knights.
It seems more and more that either Vegas or L.A. will win the Pacific and get the #1 spot in the western conference.
The central division, on the other hand, is kind of a mess with no one really being able to get any kind of seperation.
Though, Colorado has two games in hand and could, if they win both, take over the division lead.
The Kraken are trailing Edmonton by three points(with one game in hand) while leading Winnipeg by three points(with two games in hand) and Calgary by seven points(with three games in hand).
Nashville's currently trailing the Kraken by eight points but has one game(against Toronto) in hand.

The Kraken's remaining ten games are:
@ Minnesota
vs Anaheim
vs Los Angles
vs Arizona
@ Vancouver
vs Arizona
vs Chicago
@ Arizona
@ Vegas
vs Vegas
If we'd go 5-5 we'd end up with 98 points, which seems possible looking at the schedule.
The Flames, at best, can only achieve 97 points, if they win all of their remaining games.
The Preds could still achieve 102 points, by winning all of their games, and would need to go 9-1-1 in order to reach 99 points.
Winnipeg could still get to 101 points, by winning all their games, but they haven't looked great either.
Given that the winner of the pacific division will most likely win the western conference they'd play the #2 Wild Card Spot, currently held by Winnipeg.
Unless the Kraken ended up in that spot or somehow end up catching Edmonton, they'll play the winner of the central division which will be either Minnesota, Dallas or Colorado.
