Playoff Odds

The Minnesota Wild got a 3.483% bump in their odds of making the playoffs following yesterday’s win over the Capitals, according to Hockeystats.ca. They’re up to 91.108%, which is fifth in the Western Conference, ahead of the Los Angeles Kings, Winnipeg Jets, Vancouver Canucks, Calgary Flames, San Jose Sharks, and Dallas Stars. (Sorry Colorado, your season is over.)

More from Wild News

The Calgary Flames and Los Angeles Kings both took shootout wins last night, not helping the the Wild at all, but the Vancouver Canucks took a shootout loss to the Arizona Coyotes, which should have given the Wild a slight bump since they pulled away from the Canucks by a point.

Winning 15 of their last 17 games has the Wild in great shape to grab a playoff spot. Tonight they’ll help themselves out, as usual, by winning against the 24-31-7 Hurricanes, who are deep in the McEichel race. The Wild can get a hand in the standings on Friday night with a Detroit Red Wings win over the Calgary Flames. They also get a very, very small bump in their odds if the Edmonton Oilers get a win over the Chicago Blackhawks.

Here’s a look at how the Western Conference odds look in graph form.
