From our Edmonton Journal: Playoff picture remains murky.
Now that the Oilers have finally found a way to beat Dallas and climb to 89 points, what's their playoff picture look like? Well, it's still murky.
- Nashville (87 points) needs only four points in their final three games against the Blackhawks tonight,
St. Louis Saturday afternoon and Colorado Sunday afternoon to confirm their first playoff appearance in their sixth NHL season. If they get two wins, the Predators are in and the Oilers are out. Even if Nashville only gets one win and two ties, while the Oilers add another win Saturday, the Predators would get in on the basis of a better head-to-head season series.
To make the Oilers game in Vancouver meaningful Saturday night, Nashville cannot earn more than three points against Chicago and
St. Louis. Even with Nashville at 90 points, the Oilers can still get in the post-season if they beat the Canucks.
- St. Louis (89 points) needs only one win in their last three games with Detroit, Nashville and Minnesota to guarantee their post-season spot. If the Blues and Oilers tie in points, the Blues get in because they have more total wins.
Shes a nail biter & I'm not placing any bets!
