More Math Nerdery

Those Magic Numbers are so tantalizingly close... It's unbelievable to think about how much this team has accomplished and yet how far they still have to go.

The Blue Jackets, Ducks, Blues, Predators, and Wild are all still potential 1st round match-ups for San Jose. By my math, there are over 1500 point scoring scenarios between those 5 teams. Quite a contrast from last year, where I whipped up this flowchart by April 4th. Sports Club Stats projects St. Louis as the Sharks most likely opponent at 43%.
