It'd be real nice to draw a weaker opponent in the first round for a change, after facing all the toughest competition imaginable the last few years.

This is what I have for the season series. I can't remember the particulars of the games. Maybe someone else can enlighten?
10/18 COL 1 at LAK 2
1/4 LAK 1 at COL 4
1/27 COL 4 at LAK 3
And here's our records vs Nashville and Minnesota. Overall not great for any of these "lower" teams.
10/31 NSH 3 at LAK 4 OT
2/20 LAK 2 at NSH 1 OT
3/21 LAK at NSH
10/16 MIN 1 at LAK 2 OT
1/21 MIN 3 at LAK 0
3/22 LAK at MIN

well, for that 1/27 game we outshot them 38-19 as Calvin Pickard turned in the performance of a lifetime and they won 4-3, so...idk, i'm going to chalk that up to the backup goalie woes

I think that regardless of the opponent, you want to do whatever you can to win the conference. Not just for the sake of the achievement, but to guarantee home-ice in the first 3 rounds. That would be HUGE.

After the games of 3/22/16:
The Kings have clinched no worse than P3.
Home Ice:
100 points is the pace to get home ice in the first round (a record of 3-5-1).
As KF pointed out correctly, 14 points are needed to _clinch_ first-round home ice.
Pacific Division Title:
102 points is the pace to land the division title (a record of 4-4-1).
As KF pointed out, 17 points are needed to _clinch_ the Pacific title.
Western Conference Title:
108 points is the pace to land the conference title (a record of 7-1-1).
The Kings' magic number to clinch the conference title is 21 points -- with nine games remaining, they can only get 18 of those through their own wins, but since one of those games is against Dallas, that ends up being a four-point game... so if the Kings go 9-0 with all the wins as ROW, they would win the conference.
Current First-Round Western Conference Playoff Matchups:
Colorado (WC2, 90 pts and current ROW tiebreaker over Minnesota 34-32 and percentage lead of .548-.547) at Dallas (C1, 107 pts)
Chicago (C3, 101 pts) at St. Louis (C2, 105 pts)
Nashville (WC1, 98 pts) at Los Angeles (P1, 104 pts)

The past 2 games didn't help this in the slightest.
Yep, 2 points really would've help in the conference chase having those games in hand. Now it's going to take quite a finish to win it.

please chicago 1st round!
lak will have to beat them to claim to be a contender, and vice versa, anyhow the draw goes.
and if it happens, it will be epic again!
my odds right now are 51% kings - 49% chicago. plus a lot of respect.

Home Ice:
98 points is the pace to get home ice in the first round (a record of 0-4-1).
KopitarFAN is correct, the magic number for home ice is down to just 4 points. For a moment, I thought it was down to only three, as the Kings have clinched no worse than a tie on the ROW tiebreaker with San Jose (they lead 44-40 and the Sharks have only 4 games left) -- but I did the wrong head-to-head. The Sharks own that tiebreaker. So, four points it is.
Pacific Division Title:
105 points is the pace to land the division title (a record of 4-1).

Most agree that what happens in the regular season isn't that big of a deal in the playoffs. But the fact we are 11-1-1 in our last 13 at home, would be nice to have home ice until the WCF.

I agree. I want the Kings to win the division and have home ice. They gotta play like they want it though.

Congratulations--you won the division! Your reward is to travel cross-country to play one of the hottest teams in the league who is finally putting it all together.

Even though SJ won, because it was in SO, I think the magic number for P2 went down by 1.
SJ has 94 points (3 games remaining) so their max is 100, however the Kings already best them in ROW (44 to 40) and since it is mathematically impossible for SJ to even tie in ROW, all the Kings need is 100.
Magic number: 3
