Well we have 69 points -and only 6 points out of 3rd place , and 7 points out of 2nd place. All you need is one of those teams to go on a downer and lose 4 straight --and we're sitting nice, providing we keep winning. All this could very well happen as St.Louis lost 5 straight just in the last couple weeks. (a little while ago)
As for the Wild card spot --we are also in control of our own destiny, as I believe we have 2 games left against Calgary and Arizona? --and we seem to be playing well. I'm going by memory but haven't checked the schedule on this ? -- but I believe we have 2 games against both left. Things are looking up.
Also with Chef and Wheeler together again -Scheifele has come alive, but it would be nice to pick up one more big talented D-man.
Anywhich way --we're looking good, and playing well, and the Jet's "really" need the playoff revenues, so I hope they keep rolling on this road trip.
