Final Western Conference Spot

Even without Parayko, the Blues have a great shot.
The way MN is playing, they are far from a sure thing thing to make the playoffs. STL and CAL might get in over them. Also don't mind Utah.
MN is a terrible team right now, and Kaprizov and JEE are not coming back anytime soon.

Ducks have really kept this race interesting by awarding all these teams in the mix points.
Blues have the "easiest" schedule of the wild card teams, and have been playing like a different team since the 4 nations break, even after losing Parayko.
Utah and Vancouver have a pretty tough remaining schedule.
Calgary has a pretty balanced schedule.
I could see Minnesota falling out of the playoffs completely if they don't get Kaprizov back soon, and then STL/CGY grabbing the wild card spots.

I don't think they suck enough to not pick up the additional 11-ish points that will be enough to make the playoffs in a truly awful playoff race.
Look, I'm not going to argue against you that the Wild are the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked. But even Chicago and the Sharks, sucky though the might be, have a decent chance to pick up enough points in the next 15 games to make the playoffs. It's just tough for bad teams to close a somewhat sizable point gap when we get this close to the end of the season, and there aren't two non-bad teams in the Western Conference playoff race right now.
It's be great is both Vancouver and Calgary made it to be honest.
I like Utah too. I think Minny was looking like a world beater but they have fallen off. St Louis making it would also be good.
So I have no clue and will pick Vancouver and Calgary because I want the cup to be won in Canada and playoffs are better when Canadian teams make it. No other rational.lol

I honestly had the flames not even close and here they are. I'd be happy for them if they proved me wrong. Wolf has been outstanding.
St. Louis seems like the best bet at the moment, but really it feels like last hot streak wins.
With only 15 games left and a 6+ point cushion really hard to see Minnesota falling out. For example if Vancouver where to finish the season 8-7 Minnesota would have to go 4-10-1 to get passed by.
