If the Vancouver Canucks qualify for the postseason, which opponent should they hope to draw? A look at the possibilities.
Entering play on Thursday, the Vancouver Canucks are four points clear of the Arizona Coyotes and Winnipeg Jets, who are right below the playoff bar.
But the Canucks four games in hand on the Coyotes, and three on the Jets. So their cushion should be viewed as something closer to seven points. At any rate, it’s going to be hard for either of those teams to pass Vancouver in the playoff race.
