If at the end of the season we're tied with either the BLues or the Flames, we win on the tirebreaker - most regulation wins (and the second tie breaker as well, which is winning in OT prior to shootouts happening). So, if we get a point in our last game we're in the playoffs; or if the Blues...
Wild win in OT! And Blues lose in OT. So we’re a point ahead of them in the standings with one game left for each team. We’re in the playoffs if we win our final game, or if the Blues lose their final game, or if the Flames lose any of their three remaining games.

At least we control our own destiny. To guarantee a spot in the playoffs, we have to win 6 out of our remaining 8 games, including the one against the Canucks and the one against the Flames.
2-0 win. Looks like it was pretty miserable weather in MPLS (I'm down in Austin TX for a bit). Way to play through the slop for the win. For those of you that don't have a Apple pass to watch games on TV, here's how to get one for just $5.
