An updated look at which teams have realistic chance to make Stanley Cup Playoffs – NBC Sports

In the Eastern Conference, literally nothing has changed. The eight playoff teams look to be completely set with the only thing remaining to be decided being seeding and First Round matchups. There is literally only one team outside of the current playoff teams that had a points percentage for the season higher than .482, and that team is the Columbus Blue Jackets at .527. That is an 86-point pace over an 82-game season. That will not get a team close to a playoff spot in any season.

Huh it doesn’t look like Detroit is going to make up a 15 point deficit in 26 games.
