Lets do some math.

I think 5 more W`s and a OT loss gives us a playoff spot

I think 5 more W`s and a OT loss gives us a playoff spot

12 points gives us a ~97% chance at making the playoffs.
14 points essentially gives us a 100% chance.

MY guess is we'll be fine with 53 points

 

[saskriders]

So if NYI or CAR finishes with PPG hockey, then we need to get .429 points per game (6) to beat them.

Records that beat that

At least 3 wins
or
2 wins and at leas 2 OT losses
or
1 win and at least 4 OT losses
or
At least 6 OT losses


If NYI finishes with the same point rate as they had in their last 10, then we would need 52 or 53 points to beat them

With the three point games, here's something that SHOULD help us, but COULD hurt us.

rangers and devils play each other twice

rangers ans islanders play each other once

islanders have 4 games left with teams fighting for the final few playoff spots.

rangers have 6 games left with teams fighting for the final few playoff spots

devils have 6 games left with teams fighting for the final few playoff spots

Hopefully these teams cannibalize each others chances.
