It's nice they won a few games (one a blown lead at Flyers), and for today hold the eight seed. It would take a seasons worth of long-overdue production out of most of these players to qualify. They did have a gutty win at Columbus (who were rested and just beat Colorado 4-1) after almost being shutout by league worse Chicago and never would have scored if not for an odd bounce that led to Holmstrom's goal. Forget the tiebreaker that's gone, they must beat out everyone in points, they only have 25 regulation wins. Formerly struggling Nashville today is 15 over, on a three game losing streak, solidly in a wildcard spot, and you can bet Barry Trotz wants to beat Lamoriello.
