7 Winnipeg 87 points 8 Chicago 83 - 4 games left 9 Vegas 82 - 3 games left 10 San Jose 81 - 5 games left 11 Nashville 81 - 4 games left 12 Calgary 81 - 4 games left 13 St. Louis 81 - 3 games left
Winnipeg looks to be a lock in the 7th spot. This is the tightest race for a single playoff spot I've ever seen in the NsHL.
Who will make it? 6 teams for one spot. Chicago is in the driver's seat, can they hold on?

Based on games remaining, Chicago and SJ have a clear advantage. Neither is playing to hot right now tough.

What a race! The schedule is nutty to end the season. San Jose plays each of the last five days of the season, with their final four on the road! Calgary has three of four remaining on the road. Chicago gets Arizona at home in a must win, as they have road tilts in Toronto and Boston to close things out. Nashville plays St. Louis twice. Vegas gets Vancouver tonight then sits until the last day when they host the Sharks. It is going to be absolutely wild and, as this season has shown, it is impossible to predict. It may very well come down to the final day and that Vegas-San Jose game to decide things.

Update
7 Winnipeg 87 - 1 game left (@ home vs Anaheim) 8 Chicago 84 - 2 games left (@ Toronto and @ Boston) 9 Vegas 84 - 1 game left (@ home vs San Jose) 10 Nashville 83 - 2 games left (@ home vs St. Louis and @ LA Kings) 11 Calgary 83 - 2 games left (@ Columbus and @ Colorado) 12 San Jose 81 - 3 games left (@ Edmonton, @ NY Rangers and @ Vegas)
So many possibilities.
What looked like a lock for Winnipeg to be in the playoffs, may not be such a lock anymore. Winnipeg wins or goes to OT and they're in the playoffs, lose and they could be out. Winnipeg loses and Chicago and Nashville or Calgary win both of their games, then Winnipeg is out and Chicago and either Nashville or Calgary are in. Unless San Jose wins all 3 games, then they could be in along with Chicago or Nashville or Calgary and if Vegas wins then San Jose is out.
Did I get everything?
