Well, the Sens(in Boston) and the Blackhawks(first one after eight straight losses) won last night.
Here are the current craptastic race to the bottom standings, just before our double header against the Devils and Sens.
I'll exclude Buffalo since they're actually playing pretty well and way out of reach.
Ottawa ---> 62 points ---> 74 games played
Chicago ---> 61 points ---> 74 games played
New Jersey ---> 58 points ---> 74 games played
Philladelphia ---> 57 points ---> 74 games played
Seattle ----> 52 points ---> 73 games played
Montreal ---> 51 points ---> 74 games played
Arizona ---> 49 points ---> 74 games played
So thanks to that postponed game against the Jets we actually have a game in hand it should be interesting watching that one while everyone else has already finished their season.
To me it looks like Arizona's in a good spot to secure that top 3 pick given that their run of results seems to be over and they've looked quite bad as of late.
Montreal's run at the start of St. Louis tenure seems to have worn off as well, while Philly has the worst record over the last ten games(2-8-0) of all the teams in that craptastic race tot he bottom.
Chicago's a strange one but there are nine points between them and us, while Ottawa's actually been good during their last ten and has a positive record(5-4-1) during that time.
Overall it seems more like a five team race at the bottom, unless Chicago ends their season with about three or four points during their final eight games.
