Tonight brings to a close EHEC's tenth regular season. Not bad, eh?
Montreal already clinched the President's Trophy a while ago. Rick Nash wins the Rocket Richard in a landslide with 47 goals to Ovechkin's 42. Marian Gaborik wins the Art Ross with 93 points, edging out Ovechkin at 89. OEL and Fowler finish 1-2 in defense scoring with 62 and 60 points, respectively. Philly had the fewest GA at 189, so I suppose that means Jack Campbell earns the Jennings, although I'd say that Lundqvist probably earned the Vezina.
Anaheim's drubbing of LA means that Edmonton holds on to #1 in the West with 112 points and 50 ROW, while Arizona retains second with 48 ROW. Anaheim and LA finish tied with 111 points, but Anaheim had 48 ROW to LA's 46 and so the Ducks get home ice. The Stars and Jets finished 6th & 7th. The Flames have their 18 point penalty applied in the form of 2 wins downgraded to regulation losses, and 14 wins downgraded to OT/SOL, which sadly means that they finish with just 35 ROW. Better luck next year.
Florida demolishes Tampa Bay to force the only tie situation in the East, and indeed they're also tied at 39 ROW (7 SOW for Florida and 5 for TB). The next tiebreaker is head-to-head record, and surprisingly the Panthers went 3-2 including that last win (2 shootout wins earlier in the season vs two regulation losses on the road, but ROW don't matter here), so the Panthers get the #3 seed and Tampa Bay have to settle for #4.
That means the playoff matchups are:
#1 EDM vs #8 SJ
#2 ARZ vs #7 WPG
#3 CHI vs #6 DAL
#4 ANA vs #5 LA
#1 MTL vs #8 TOR
#2 PHI vs #7 CBS
#3 FLA vs #6 NYR
#4 TB vs #5 WSH
On the other end of the spectrum, the odds for the lottery are:
BOS 20% (TOR)
OTT 13.5% (EDM)
MIN 11.5% (VAN)
NJ 9.5% (CBJ)
DAL via BUF 8.5% (CGY)
SJ via COL 7.5% (WPG)
LA via NSH 6.5% (ARZ)
CAR 6% (BUF)
PIT 5% (MTL)
OTT via NYI 3.5% (COL)
STL 3% (NJD)
DET 2.5% (OTT)
WPG via VAN 2% (CAR)
WPG via CGY 1% (BOS)
We'll do like previous years and draw random numbers and look up the winning combinations from the 2016 lottery tables: http://jets.nhl.com/v2/ext/draft/NHL-Lo ... erical.pdf. More on that once it's scheduled.
Let the playoffs begin!
