As we come down the stretch, matchups are so vital...I have come up with a formula that determines how teams play versus other teams based on the last three seasons...weighted more by the most recent meetings...
So here is a look at who wants to play who out west...
Nashville vs… 1. COL 0.20 2. STL 0.70 3. ANA 0.81 4. SAN 0.83 5. LAK 1.06
Really Wants to Play: Avs, Blues, Ducks Really Wants to Avoid: Kings Best case scenario: Avalanche squeak in
Vegas vs… 1. ANA .60 2. COL.75 3. SAN .77 4. STL .85 5. LA 1.05
Really Wants to Play: Avs, Duck, Sharks Really Wants to Avoid: Kings Best case scenario: Anaheim finishes 7th
Sharks vs.
1. LAK .65 2. NAS 1.17 3. VEG 1.20 4. ANA 1.28
Really Wants to Play: Kings Really Wants to Avoid: Ducks Best case scenario: Finish 2nd and face Ducks
Here are the all important Projected Final Standings as we go into the final week of the season...
