New Projection


Results
Buffalo 4, Flyers 2 - Flyers are 0-3-1 in their last 4 - all games against teams out of the picture. CHOKE. Buffalo keeps falling out and edging closer. Long shot unless they get super hot. But they were outshot 34-19.
Carolina 4 Washington 2 - Caps had a 2-1 lead and choked. They can't win anymore.
Rangers 4 Wings 3 - It could have been a huge win for Detroit - but I had them losing. So this doesn't hurt.

Atlantic -
3, Flyers 91 - Slipped another point
---
Wildcard
1/ Tampa 105 -
3. Detroit 90 - Nothing gained or lost.
3. Islanders 89 -
4. Wash 87 - Caps miss a chance to gain.
5. Penguins 85 - Penguins win another game they were projected to lose. Can they get hot and make it interesting?
5. Sabres - 85 - Back in the picture, bareless.
--
7. NJ 84 -

Saturday's big games
TB @ Pittsburgh - I've got Pittsburgh losing. A win would raise eyebrows,
Flyers @ Blue Jackets - Flyers can't afford another loss against a craphole team.
Devils @ Senators - Devils are basically out barring a miracle finish. I'm taking them out if they don't get 2 points.
Preds @ Isles - I've got the Isles winning - and this is not an easy one. Big challenge for the Isles.

Detroit should go 4-2 minimum in their final six. And that should be enough to get the final spot.
But if Buffalo beats Detroit at Detroit, all bets are off.

with a win today, the Penguins now hold the second wildcard spot. they’re better on paper probably than the other teams fighting (not fighting?) for a spot, but they made up a lot of ground after the trade deadline.

Still a tough schedule.
I have them at 87 points to finish.
I could see them reversing the Islanders game and getting squeezing a couple extra points.
But they're playing well, so who knows.

Wildcard
⬇️1/ Tampa 103 - Projection falls by two.
3. Detroit 90 -
↔️3. Islanders 89 - Held the projection with a tough win.
⬆️5. Penguins 87 - Penguins running hot.
5. Wash 87 - Can they halt the skid?
5. Sabres - 85 - Back in the picture, bareless.
⬆️7. NJ 85 -

Saturday's Results
Penguins 5 Tampa 4 - Huge win for the Penguins. If they can score a couple more wins against tough teams, they're in the mix.
Blue Jackets 6, Flyers 2 - Wow. They're in a skid that makes the March Red Wings look clutch.
Devils 4, Senators 3 - Prolonging the illusion for the Devils.
Islanders 2, Preds 0 - One of the few projected wins that seemed like a tall order.

Sunday's big games
Sabres @ Red Wings - Must Win for both teams. Sabres are hanging on by a thread. Wings are in the thick of it, with a good schedule. But they can't afford to give up an easy one. Wings Win.
Senators @ Capitals - The Caps have been hurting. A loss against the Sens puts them in Sabres or Devils territory. Not eliminated - but on the outside. Caps Win.
Predators @ Devils - Devils keep their name in the hunt with a win. Devils Win.


Detroit should go 4-2 minimum in their final six. And that should be enough to get the final spot.
But if Buffalo beats Detroit at Detroit, all bets are off.

Caps lost in OT to the Sen's tonight. Still got a point though which I believe ties them with the Wings. Hugest game Tuesday night, and I'm going. My oldest son got tickets from ahold friend of his. Seats in the VIP section, I guess. Access to the VIP Lounge and whatever else comes with it. First game since the year they opened LCA. Should be fun.

Wings are 1 point ahead of Pens and Caps and in the last WC spot! :D

1/ Tampa 103 -
3. Detroit 90 - Won a game they were supposed to win.
3. Flyers 89 - Held the projection with a tough win.
5. Penguins 87 - Playing as projected the last two games.
5. Wash 87 - Can they halt the skid?
5. Sabres - 85 - Done
⬆️ 7. NJ 84 - Done

Monday's Results
Toronto 3 Pittsburgh 2 - Pittsburgh gets an OT point - how it was projected. Nothing lost, but nothing gained.

Tuesday
Caps @ Red Wings - Red Wings projected to win in regulation. Caps best chance to gain points is to upset Detroit. It would put Detroit-Washington in a tie with projected 88 points. Washington would have the tie breaker.
Flyers @ Canadiens - Flyers have wasted the easiest down-the-stretch schedule. They basically have to go 4-0 to make it at this point, which shouldn't be that hard, outside the Ranger game. But with the way they've played?
Leafs @ Devils - Devils are basically only in mathematically.
Rangers @ Isles - With even an OTL the Isles can help their hopes of a playoff spot.
BJs at Lighting - Should be 2 and the top wildcard spot for the Lightning.
Sabres @ Stars - The Detroit loss ended their hopes.

None that matter

Thursday's Games
Washington @ Buffalo - Washington can pick up points by getting two points.
