With so many tight races for either a place in the post-season, or for seeding, keep a close eye on the regulation-wins column. RoryBoylen explains why in the latest look at the playoff push.
The odds may still be against the Vegas Golden Knights, but things are starting to trend in the right direction. Entering Tuesday with a 42.8 per cent chance of reaching the post-season , Vegas is helping itself with a 7-3-0 run in its past 10 and also getting help from those around them: Los Angeles, third in the Pacific, has lost three in a row and its grip on second in the division, while the Dallas Stars aren't using their games in hand all that efficiently.
Meanwhile, help could be on the way for the Golden Knights. Don't look now, but Mark Stone is skating and there's optimism he could return in time to give them a boost in the race. There are some cap gymnastics to be done if they're to fit him under, but the Golden Knights still have a number of injured players they could potentially slide to LTIR.of the options Vegas has to fit Stone back in.
If the Knights track down Los Angeles, then Edmonton would become Vegas' likely first-round opponent. Would a fully healthy Vegas be the team to beat in the Pacific? Or will it take some time to put Humpy back together again? Winners of five straight, the Blues enter Tuesday tied with Minnesota in points, though with one more game played. St. Louis has six more regulation wins than Minnesota, so they have a firm hold on the tie-breaker scenario.
