The Vancouver Canucks can get to 97 points on the season, but to make the playoffs they’ll almost certainly need help.
Two weeks ago, their chances were nearly down to zero, according toThen they won six games in a row and had dragged their chances back up to about 15 per cent.
Going into Wednesday action — the Canucks are idle, but two teams they’re in the playoff conversation with, the Vegas Golden Knights and Dallas Stars, are playing — the Canucks’ chances stand at about eight per cent. That single point lost to the Senators now means the Canucks can’t get more than 97 points, an impressive total but possibly not enough to get them into the playoffs. If they do win all five of their remaining games, beginning Thursday in Minnesota, they have an 89-per-cent chance of making the playoffs.Article content
According to this model, the Canucks would need to take nine of the 10 points available to them — basically, four wins and an overtime loss in their final five games — to have just a 64-per-cent chance of making the NHL post-season.
