We'll have to win more than just them but with 5 games against San Jose, Calgary, and Vancouver those are the big ones. If we can sweep them we'll be a long way towards making it and at the number 2 seed. But I was looking at schedules and we have 9 games in division and 5 more vs central. Vancouver has 9 in division and 7 vs central. San Jose has 5 in division and 5 vs central. Calgary has 4 in division and 9 vs central.
So without taking into account exactly who they are playing Calgary and Vancouver have to play against the Central more than both us and San Jose. And San Jose has many games against the East in the stretch. And most agree the Central is the toughest division this year.
After the games of 3/5/2015
Target: 96 points. (Flames project to P3 with 95, Jets project to WC2 with 96)
Kings' current pace: 95 points - out of the playoffs (still lose ROW tiebreaker to Calgary 29-31)
Kings' current pace with home/road split: 93.4 points.
Points needed: 22
Games remaining: 18

I think the Last Five(out of Six) games of the season, will be it, the big ones.
The Kings have to win those outright or at least score 8 out 10 points.
All five of those games are against the Pacific. That three game losing streak with no points really hurt, the Kings can't afford another one.
Canucks X1 Oilers x2 Flames x1 Sharks x1 -----Last Five of six in the season.
Kings hold their own destiny still.

With the Avs, Jets, Flames and Stars all having significant injuries we certainly need to strike while the iron is hot. Thanks as always for the updates HansH.

11-7 should get the job done, or some combo where we wind up with 22 points out of the last 18 games, like 9-5-4

To get to 100, they now need to go 11-4-1.
After that Florida abortion on February 5, they needed to go 22-7-2 (or 23-7).

Some projected worst case scenarios after 70 games played
Kings win all games:
Kings -- 106, clinch PO
Flames -- 105 (wins all except to teams above), clinch wildcard PO
Canucks -- 110 (wins all except to teams above), clinch PO
Sharks -- 100 (wins all except to teams above), most likely will not clinch unless something messed up happens in the central div.
Kings win only division games or only non-division games:
Kings -- 94, most likely will not clinch unless something messed up happens in the central div.
Flames -- 105 (wins all except to teams above), clinch PO
Canucks -- 110 (wins all except to teams above), clinch PO
Sharks -- 100 (wins all except to teams above), might clinch wildcard if central div goes bananas
Kings pretty much need to win every game possible in the unlikely case everyone else nearby wins all their games (except the ones where they lose to the Kings).
FYI, @ the 75th game last year, Kings had 94 points.

7-3-1? Ugh. It's possible but not sure about probable. The Kings have created a fine mess for themselves. I think they'll be lucky to squeak in with their inconsistent play.

Reset in progress
So many little missteps leading to points we now need to be make up. We had control of our destiny against the Flames after the ducks OT point, and we lost it with the Vancouver loss. Just like that. It's that close. We need another one of those 8 game win streaks right about now. This team can do it, but it's whether they will or not.

The Kings have been able to manage a couple of nice winning streaks, and without them the season would be lost.
Was that last winning streak fool's gold? Dean could have picked up a valuable asset or two at the trade deadline had it not occurred.

We were right there
That's the bummer, it really looked like the corner-turned switch flip we had all hoped for. Now we're right back into complacency. Such a bummer.
