X-Post from Post game thread:
Magic Number to clinch a playoff spot is 10 now. That's a lock.
Magic Number to clinch first place is 19. So a combined 10 WPG wins or NSH losses in the remaining games will have us locking up first place.
If we go 5-6-1 that would put us at 97 points.
NSH would need a 7-3-1 record for to overtake (We are way ahead in ROW's).
If we went 7-5 in the last 12, that would put us at 100 points.
NSH would need a record of 9-2 in their remaining games to overtake.
Seven is way to high an estimate IMO. NSH is 5-5 in their last 10.

We win despite missing our top two defensemen. JoMo and Buff are in the line-up and we win more of the past 15 games.
Here's a good article that discusses the Jets' depth and how we've stayed in first despite missing our top two D:
Jets prove contender status by withstanding blue-line injuries - Sportsnet.ca
"What’s your favorite NHL team?
OK, now take away your team’s best two defencemen, the way the Winnipeg Jetshave been without injured blue-liners Dustin Byfuglien and Josh Morrissey for the past seven games. How would your team fare?"

Sports Club has us at a 64.9% chance of making the playoffs even if we finish off the season 0-11. I'm liking our chances 
Sports Club now gives us a 99.9997% chance of making the playoffs. Even going 0-10 from here on out we would have a 97.5% chance.
We are finishing first and gonna steal the Preds banner celebration .
100 points should be enough. 5-5 down the stretch would require the Preds to go 7-2 to pass us.We are finishing first and gonna steal the Preds banner celebration .
That 0.0003% chance of not making the playoffs is still enough to keep some people standing firmly on the cliff.
We are fighting to finish first in our division and getting some very valuable home ice advantage and there are barely any posts in the positivity thread . I think there are alot of people that would rather lose but lose the right way ,never trade 1st round picks to get a better chance at the Cup , never trade for a veteran , make all the perfect picks in the draft , get the perfect coach , on and on and on . I for one want to see a Cup in Winnipeg sooner than later . Bring on the playoffs man !!

So after playing .500 hockey for months, we are now 6 and 3 in March (Wins / Losses).
That's more like it, and against mostly very tough competition. Let's keep that up for the final few games heading into the playoffs.

I say lets keep it up all the way till the end of June .

SportsClubStats gives us a 93 per cent chance to win the division if we go 6-4 in the last 10.
Not sure we can make the playoffs at this point, odds not looking good

A pint of dark matter, please.
4 wins in a row.
Helly increasing his power bar.
Bud-light trade-o-matic defence developing in front of Chevy's eyes.
Puck luck.
Wins achieved despite a lack of beauty.

One more point, or a loss by the teams chasing, and it'll be a mathematical impossibility to not make the playoffs. It's a bit of a math thing - some team chasing would have to go unbeaten, and we'd have to lose all games for this to happen - it's such a small possibility that it's being rounded to 100%
Another positive note: did I hear in another thread that Buff is skating again? It'd be huge to get Buff an Morrissey back for a couple games before the PO's. Bandaid and baling wire has worked pretty well to keep us in the winning column for the most part, but guys like Beaulieu and Morrow (etc) are currently being forced to punch above their weight class. They're doing admirably, but the upgrade with Buff and Josh would be nice. The whole team needs their ability to move the puck and transition.

From PMo's pregame interview yesterday, "Josh will start skating next week and Dustin's back on the ice" (0:42 mark)...
, to put it mildly .
