Is Texas going to make the playoffs?

Is Texas going to make the playoffs?

If I'm understanding it correctly, based on the AHL's site, the top 5 (of 7) teams in the Central make the playoffs. Texas is comfortably within that top 5 (currently 4th) so they should.

23/32 teams make the playoffs in the AHL.

From the AHL's site:

In 2023-24, the AHL will have 23 teams participating in the postseason.

The playoff field will include the top six finishers in the Atlantic Division, the top five finishers each in the North and Central Divisions, and the top seven teams in the Pacific Division.

Home-ice advantage in all series will be granted to the team with more points in the regular-season standings.

The first round will be best-of-three series. Division semifinals and division finals will be best-of-five series; conference finals and the Calder Cup Finals are in a best-of-seven format.

Kraws is making his AHL debut for Texas tonight.

I haven't been able to watch yet but apparently he's had an impressive 1st period.

 

[Kcb12345]

Pettersen gets his first as a Texas Star. Nice goal, walked it into the slot and ripped it top shelf. 2-0 Texas

 

[Kcb12345]

Wild cut the Texas lead to 2-1. 4:46 left in the 3rd

 

[Kcb12345]

Texas hangs on and wins 2-1. Kraws gets his first AHL win in his first start

 

[Kcb12345]

No score halfway through the 1st. Kraws is in goal again for Texas

 

[Kcb12345]

Late 1st period goal and Texas trails 1-0

 

[Kcb12345]

Tie game off a Karlstrom deflection

 

[BG44]

Bourque was out for the full 1:19 of 5 on 3 PK.

I'm really surprised they didn't bring him up for the 4th line. I really don't see what he has left to prove at this level.

 

[Kcb12345]

3-2 Texas early in the 3rd. Caamano with a nice goal/shot for his 2nd of the game

 

[Kcb12345]

Caamano hat trick and it's 4-3 Texas

 

[Kcb12345]

4 goal game for Caamano as he hits the empty netter. 5-3.

Texas is 4 points from clinching a playoff spot

[Kcb12345]

McDonald makes it 3-1 Texas with 26 seconds left in the 2nd. Gorgeous little toe-drag pass by Caamano

Texas needs just 1 point to clinch a playoff spot

 

[Kcb12345]

Tie game after 2 quick goals. 3-3 with 6:50 left

 

[Kcb12345]

4-3 Milwaukee. 3:18 left in the game

 

[piqued]

Watch Texas' season end before Rogle's now and Bichsel never comes back

 

[Kcb12345]

Texas has clinched a playoff spot.

Pettersen also just tied the game for them. 1-1, Bourque with a primary assist on the goal

 

[Kcb12345]

Caamano to McDonald for a rocket of a one-timer and it's 2-1 Texas late in the 1st. Back to back games with goals for McDonald

 

[Kcb12345]

Pettersen gets his 2nd of the game, this one coming on a 5 on 3 powerplay for Texas nearly midway through the 3rd. 3-1 Texas. He's been a great addition to Texas
