  • Despite the hideous losing streak in which all manner of Draconian solutions were considered (but only by the fans), the Kings find themselves with the 4th best WIN% in the conference, a game and a half (baseball-style) behind DAL and VAN, and 4.5 back of DET.
  • The main difference between my standings and the “official” one is that: (1) CHI is five seeds lower in mine (due to several games in hand); (2) SJS is four seeds higher in mine; (3) STL is 2 higher in mine: (4) sadly, ANA is 2 lower.
  • EDM and CGY now have the same number of points and identical WIN%s. However, CGY’s 3 SO wins means they lose the tie-breaker. Yes, EDM is out of the basement.
  • Everything is still very tight in the conference. Nine points separate 2nd from 15th.

[The columns of the chart are, in order: My standings, official standings, team, games played, games in hand (average), wins, losses, shoot-out wins, OT losses, points, win%, projected final point total, win% and projected final points if you eliminate the Bettman point, games-back (baseball-style), points above or below the 8th seed, points blown, record needed to get to 95 points (presumed playoff threshold).]
