Of the four divisions, the Pacific Division is by far the weakest. That also means that there is parity, as six teams are within 10 points of one another, and just six points separated the second-placed Edmonton Oilers and sixth-placed San Jose Sharks.

This is What’s Going On In the Pacific Division, the weekly article where we look at how teams from the division fared, as well as setting up what’s next for all eight teams.

Anaheim Ducks

After a nine-game losing streak appeared to take the Anaheim Ducks out of the playoff picture, the Ducks are now 8-2-0 in their last 10 games to jump into the final wild card spot in the Western Conference.

One of those two losses came at the hands of the Vancouver Canucks on Jan. 29, as they were shut out 2-0. They responded with two big wins at home against a Pacific Division opponent, defeating the division-leading Vegas Golden Knights 4-3, as well as the Seattle Kraken by a score of 4-2.

Their last two remaining games in February come on the 25th and 27th against the Edmonton Oilers and Winnipeg Jets respectively.

Calgary Flames

The Calgary Flames just can’t seem to help themselves from getting points. In a season where they should be tanking for a first overall pick, they are 4-4-2 in their last 10 games, with the 52 games being tied for the fourth-fewest in the league.

It’s starting to look like the race for the first overall pick is between six teams, the Vancouver Canucks (42 points), St. Louis Blues (49 points), New York Rangers (50 points), the Flames, the Winnipeg Jets (52 points), and Chicago Blackhawks (53 points).

This past week did them no favours, falling 4-1 to the Minnesota Wild and 4-2 to the Toronto Maple Leafs, but defeating the San Jose Sharks 3-2 and the Edmonton Oilers 4-3. Their last two games in February will come on the 26th and 28th on the road, facing the San Jose Sharks and the Los Angeles Kings.

Edmonton Oilers

After back-to-back Stanley Cup Final appearances, it’s clear that the Oilers are tired. Unlike the last two regular seasons, they just can’t get any momentum going, only winning three consecutive games once this season. As it stands, they are second in the Pacific Division with 64 points, but have the fourth-highest point percentage.

In their last 10, they are 5-5-0 with a three game losing streak. They defeated the San Jose Sharks 4-3 in overtime for three straight wins, but lost 7-3 to the Minnesota Wild, 5-2 to the Toronto Maple Leafs, and 4-2 to the Calgary Flames heading into the break.

They have three games to end February, playing the all three California-based teams on the road. On Feb. 25, they’ll face the Anaheim Ducks, then the Los Angeles Kings on the 26th, and the San Jose Sharks on the 28th.

Los Angeles Kings

Last week was a busy and disastrous week for the Kings. They fell 4-1 to the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday, before defeating the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 in overtime on Saturday. That was their lone win in their last five games, as they fell 3-2 in overtime to the Carolina Hurricanes, then 4-2 and 4-1 to the Seattle Kraken and Vegas Golden Knights respectively.

With a 23-19-14 record, the Kings are on the outside looking in with 60 points, three fewer than the Anaheim Ducks with the same number of games played. Like every other team, the Kings will be in action at the end of the month, hosting the Golden Knights on the 25th, the Edmonton Oilers on the 26, and the Calgary Flames on the 28th.

San Jose Sharks

This past week, the San Jose Sharks blew a 3-0 lead to the Edmonton Oilers, falling 4-3 in overtime. They then proceeded to fall 3-2, 6-3, and 4-2 to the Calgary Flames, Chicago Blackhawks, and Colorado Avalanche respectively. Not a good run of games against teams that start with the letter “C”.

Because of this four-game losing streak, the Sharks are starting to lag behind the other teams in the Pacific Division. They now have 58 points, five fewer points than the Anaheim Ducks, who hold on to the final wild card spot.

At the end of the month, the Sharks will try to get their revenge on the two Albertan teams, hosting the Flames on the 26th and the Oilers on the 28th.

Seattle Kraken

This past week was a good one for the Seattle Kraken, as they defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs by a score of 5-2, then beat the Vegas Golden Knights 3-2 to end a strong second half to January. They fell 4-2 to the Anaheim Ducks to begin February, but responded with a 4-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings the following night.

With a 27-20-9 record, the Kraken sit third in the Pacific Division with 63 points. Additionally, their .563 point percentage is tied for the second-best in the division. When the Olympic break concludes, they play back-to-back games on the road against the Dallas Stars and St. Louis Blues on the 25th and 26th. To end February, the Kraken will host the Vancouver Canucks.

Vancouver Canucks

Speaking of those Canucks, their 42 points aren’t just the fewest in the division, but also in the league. Last week started off well, as they defeated the Anaheim Ducks 2-0, but they fell 3-2 in a shootout to the Toronto Maple Leafs, then dropped games to the Utah Mammoth (6-2) and Vegas Golden Knights (5-2).

There isn’t much else to say about the Canucks, other than the fact they’re likely going to finish with the best odds to land the first overall pick. They’ll host the Winnipeg Jets on the 25th and the Seattle Kraken on the 28th.

Vegas Golden Knights

Lastly, it’s been tough sledding for the Vegas Golden Knights as well, at least until their two most recent games played. Overall, they’re 3-5-2 in their last 10, losing 5-4 in a shootout to the Dallas Stars on Thursday, then 3-2 to the Seattle Kraken on Saturday. Like most teams, they lost to the Anaheim Ducks by a score of 4-3, but responded with two wins on back-to-back nights, defeating the Vancouver Canucks 5-2 and the Los Angeles Kings 4-1.

Thanks to those two wins, the Golden Knights have created a bit of separation for first in the division, as they have a 27-16-14 record and 68 points, four more than the Edmonton Oilers. They’ll return to action on Feb. 25 against the Kings, before heading out east to face the Washington Capitals on Feb. 27.
