The top four spots in the West are officially clinched, while Minnesota and Vancouver are all-but.
Calgary’s magic number sits at 4.5 on Winnipeg (because Calgary holds the ROW tie-breaker for sure) and 5 on Los Angeles.

SCOREBOARD WATCHING

Take tonight off, folks, because there are no games with direct playoff implications. Well, for the Flames:
  • Dallas faces St. Louis!
  • Colorado faces Anaheim!
  • San Jose faces Arizona!
A Colorado loss officially kills their playoff hopes. Poor, poor Jarome Iginla.
