So now we just need a tie(OTL) to get in. Hopefully Vegas f&^ks things up Tuesday as well so we can rest some guys and give a few other guys some bigger minutes for a few games.

That's what they get for their Twitter account talking all that shit during the game.

Goddamn NHL.com... 
This is downright embarrassing for the league. I would expect this from an amateur website rather than from the league's official app.
I had no time to watch the Sharks @ Vegas game tonight, so I was following it via the scoreboard in the official NHL app.
First, throughout the game, the scoreboard lagged behind real time by some 10+ minutes of playing time. When there was intermission after the 2nd period, the scoreboard in the app was showing "10 minutes left in the 2nd period" (while pretending to be counting down seconds exactly...), with the wrong score, etc.
I had to go to the sportsnet.ca scoreboard to get the current score instead. (TSN.ca scoereboard was acting up for me as well!)
Then, in the 3rd period, things appeared to be back to normal, so I switched back to the scoreboard in the NHL app on the iPad. A mistake.
Can you believe that they gave the win in this game to Vegas ????!!! No hallucination on my part, I assure you! Timo Meier's tying goal with 0.3 seconds left in regulation apparently didn't register with whoever is responsible for the NHL.com scoreboard. They were truly showing a 4-3 Vegas win as the FINAL score, with the standings tab showing Tuesday's game in Dallas as Vegas's next game.
So, as a Kings fan, I cursed a bit for having received no help whatsoever from the Sharks, and stopped following hockey for the day.
But wait a minute... A bit later, a tweet from MoneyPuck.com popped up on my phone:
... saying that Vegas's chances to make the play-offs have now dropped to about 17%. I said, "Wait a sec! After just winning a game, how could Vegas's chances have dropped?"
I studied the graphics in the MoneyPuck tweet, concluding that it must be satire, parody, or just an analysis of hypothetical "what coulda been" scenarios...
But a bit later, I found out the truth (the delicious truth). Alright – the Kings now only need a single point in their remaining 2 games, to clinch the play-offs, instead of 2 points.
It's not the first time that the NHL's official app ****ed up like this in a major way, but to do it in the thick of the play-offs race is, again, downright embarrassing for the league.

Ha. I did too...(with about 6 mins to go, I turned the game off) so when I awoke, I checked the standings, expecting to see them 5 pts behind and when I saw 6 pts behind, my brain froze...and when it unfroze, I thought "that means the Sharks won in OT, so Vegas got 1 poiint, but that's impossible as the Sharks would have had to score 2 late goals and then win in OT....so I then went to the boxscore and laughed. What chokers.
With all the stuff on the line, I'd be surprised if the VGK/DAL game doesn't go to extra time. That could do it.

Couldn't help myself firing up ESPN+ and watching the final 4 minutes of regulation in Vegas last night. What a melt down. Stone (who has zero points since returning) missed an empty netter with under a minute to play.
Vegas needs to win all three remaining games and at least one of them not in a shootout, and we have to lose in regulation our last two games or else we finish no lower then 3rd in the Pacific.
Pretty, pretty, pretty. pretty good.

Reno Sucks!
I hate the inability to balance the schedule throughout the season, playing 10+ on Saturday, Thursday and maybe Tuesday, with just a couple on Sunday, Monday etc.
I understand why they like to have 10-12 games every Saturday, but the rest makes no sense.
and for the love of god they need to stagger start times!! Own saturday

I think Pavelski is going to finish what his old team started tomorrow night. He's been an absolute assassin this year with Hintz and Robertson.
He turns 38 this summer, and he's producing at a point-per-game pace:
GP: 79
G: 27
A: 51
PTS: 78
