The Flames are back from the dead, as they’ve gone 6-3-1 in their last 10 to move to just four points out of a playoff spot. All eight Pacific Division teams in relative striking distance of a post-season spot, well, aside from the Vancouver Canucks.

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 the following week. Let’s take a look at the week that was.

Anaheim Ducks

The Anaheim Ducks are back on track, as they’ve won their last three games. On Friday, they defeated the Washington Capitals 4-3 in a shootout, followed by a 7-1 smashing of the Chicago Blackhawks. They needed another shootout game, also defeating the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-3 in a skills competition. They sit first in the Pacific Division.

Their game against the Penguins marked the start of a five-game Eastern Conference road trip. They’ll play the New York Islanders on Thursday, the New Jersey Devils on Saturday, the New York Rangers on Monday, and the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday.

Calgary Flames

Evidently, the Calgary Flames didn’t get the memo that Gavin McKenna is well worth the future of the franchise, as they had a strong week. They defeated the Minnesota Wild 4-1 on Thursday, the Utah Mammoth 2-0 on Saturday, the Buffalo Sabres 7-4 on Monday, but fell 4-3 to the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday. Although they lost, they almost erased a 4-0 deficit with just 12 minutes left in the game.

Was it just a fluke? Was it just success at home? We’ll see, as the head on the road to play the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday and the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday.

Edmonton Oilers

For the first time all season, the Edmonton Oilers had a good week. They smashed the Seattle Kraken 9-4 on Thursday, then beat the Winnipeg Jets 6-2, before falling 4-3 in overtime to the Buffalo Sabres. It took a third period comeback to overcome a 3-0 deficit, as well as a last second goal for the Oilers to salvage a point from the Sabres. The Sabres are still searching for their first regulation win on the road.

This week, the Oilers play one more home game on their five-game homestand, hosting the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday. They’ll hit the road on an Eastern Conference road trip, playing the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday, the Montréal Canadiens on Sunday, and the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday.

Los Angeles Kings

It was an okay week for the Los Angeles Kings. They fell 2-1 to the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday, but got that win back by smashing them 6-0 on Saturday. With a 4-2 win on Monday against the Utah Mammoth, the Kings made it two wins in a row, but fell 3-2 in overtime to the Seattle Kraken on Wednesday.

This week, the Kings will make a stop at home to host the Calgary Flames on Saturday, before heading on the road again to face the Dallas Stars on Monday and the Florida Panthers on Wednesday.

San Jose Sharks

The San Jose Sharks aren’t going away, as they sit just one point out of a playoff spot. It wasn’t the best week for the young team, as they fell 4-1 to the Dallas Stars and Philadelphia Flyers, but managed their own 4-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes sandwiched between the two losses.

Their last three games have been on the road, and that road trip continues with a game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday and a game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday. They’ll return home to host the Flames on Tuesday.

Seattle Kraken

It was a rough week for the Seattle Kraken. They were blown out 9-4 by the Edmonton Oilers, then lost 4-3 to the Detroit Red Wings and 4-1 to the Minnesota Wild. Their week was salvaged with a 3-2 overtime win over the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday.

The Kraken’s last three games were at home, but they’ll hit the road for one game, a matchup in Salt Lake City against the Utah Mammoth on Friday. They’ll then return home to host the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday and the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday.

Vancouver Canucks

It wasn’t a great week for the Vancouver Canucks, as they fell 4-1 to the Utah Mammoth, defeated the Minnesota Wild 4-2 on Saturday, but were back in the loss column on Monday, losing 4-0 to the Detroit Red Wings. The Canucks are sitting at the bottom of the league and mired in trade rumours surrounding captain Quinn Hughes. Things aren’t going great.

Next week, they’ll face exclusively Eastern Conference teams. They host the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday, before embarking on a five-game Eastern Conference road trip, with their first two games against the New Jersey Devils (Sunday) and New York Rangers (Tuesday).

Vegas Golden Knights

Another team currently on an Eastern Conference road trip are the Vegas Golden Knights. On Friday, they defeated the New Jersey Devils 3-0, then beat the New York Rangers 3-2 in overtime on Sunday. Their four-game winning streak was snapped at the hands of the New York Islanders, as they fell 5-4 in a shootout to Matthew Schaefer and co.

Their Eastern Conference road trip continues for two more games, facing the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday and the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday. They’ll then return home to face the Devils on Wednesday.
