With only four games remaining in the regular season, it would seem at first glance that the Avalanche have little chance to make up the four points they trail Vegas in order to win the top seed in the West Division. That’s not the case.
If the Avalanche win their final four games in regulation, they will put themselves at the top of the West thanks to:
a game in hand,
a head to head matchup with Vegas,
holding the tiebreaker by finishing with more regulation wins than Vegas.
