Figured I'd start this thread and try and update it every day.
If you're unfamiliar with the concept, the magic number is to show when the team listed below cannot catch the Sens, and the Sens clinching a playoff spot. For every Sens win, 2 points is removed. For every points lost by the following teams, you remove that many points. Once it reaches 0, that team cannot catch the Sens in the standings. Once every team but one has reached 0, the Sens clinch a playoff spot. Once every team reaches 0, the Sens clinch WC1.
As tiebreakers can vary and change, I am basing this off of the Sens finishing at least 1 point higher in the standings, unless the team mathematically cannot catch the Sens on the tiebreaker.
