Coyotes are within one point of a playoff spot...

The amount of injuries they had this year it’s amazing they are even in the discussion for a wildcard spot.

If feels like every teams in the West is within a point of the playoff.

Say what you want about their skill level, they play with more hard work and effort than a lot of teams. Made fools out of the Leafs the other night as they skated circles around them. Teams are taking them lightly and the players are taking that personally. Good for them.

Nobody in the West actually wants that 8th spot. So who knows who ends up making it.

#1 goalie out for year
1st pairing RHD out for year
#1 C out for year
#2/3 C out for year
#1 pk winger out for season

Not a big fan of Tocchet but he has got the team playing his system very well. Guys come up from the roadrunners and fit into their role.

Derek Stepan is not amused.

Vegas is up on 4th place in the Pacific by 9 points.
St. Louis has increased their lead on 4th place in the Central, to 6 points.

Wouldn't surprise me if neither team is caught by season's end.

Here's the rest of the pack, including the two WC spots:

WC1 - Dallas: 29-30, 63 points
WC2 - Minnesota: 27-33, 60 points
9th - Colorado: 24-35, 59 points
10th - Arizona: 27-33, 59 points
11th - Chicago: 25-35, 59 points
12th - Vancouver: 26-34, 59 points
13th - Anaheim: 24-36, 57 points
14th - Edmonton: 24-35, 54 points
15th - Los Angeles: 23-36, 52 points

Going solely by wins and losses, there's not a single team in that mix that is above .500.

Also, worth noting that Dallas is closer to LA in the standings, at least points-wise, than it is to Winnipeg.
