Last night we wanted both Carolina and Columbus to win and 1/2 is ok I guess. Let's look at our standings as we head into [Maple Leafs](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/toronto-maple-leafs?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) game night:

|              |        |            |
| ------------ | ------ | ---------- |
| Team         | Points | Odds at #1 |
| Buffalo      | 44     | 20%        |
| Edmonton     | 47     | 13.5%      |
| Arizona      | 50     | 11.5%      |
| Carolina     | 58     | 9.5%       |
| Toronto      | 60     | 8.5%       |
| Columbus     | 62     | 7.5%       |
| New Jersey   | 67     | 6.5%       |
| Philadelphia | 70     | 6.0%       |
| Dallas       | 72     | 5.0%       |
| Colorado     | 73     | 3.5%       |
| Ottawa       | 73     | 3.0%       |
| Florida      | 74     | 2.5%       |
| San Jose     | 76     | 2.0%       |
| Winnipeg +   | 78     | 1.0%       |

Welcome to the lottery Winnipeg! All the bottom teams gained points, and that gap between us and Columbus is bigger and that's great. Carolina needs to pick up its socks and start winning some games.

**[Dallas Stars](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/dallas-stars?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) at [Washington Capitals](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/washington-capitals?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)** 
**Best Result: Dallas wins**  
Nothing too applicable here, but in case the Leafs decide to go on a win streak to end the season, we want these lower lottery teams to pick up points.

**[Edmonton Oilers](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/edmonton-oilers?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) at [Columbus Blue Jackets](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/columbus-blue-jackets?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)**  
**Best Result: Edmonton over Columbus in OT**  
This is one we need to be a 3 pointer. Edmonton wins, gets closer to dropping out of 2nd place, and Columbus makes that gap 1 point bigger.

**[Ottawa Senators](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/ottawa-senators?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) at [New York Islanders](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/new-york-islanders?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)**  
**Best Result: Ottawa wins**  
Same as the Dallas/DC game. Keep that line between 5th and 6th as wide as possible.

**[Anaheim Ducks](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/anaheim-ducks?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) at [Minnesota Wild](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/minnesota-wild?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)** 
**Best Result: Anaheim wins**  
It's all about keeping Nashvilles 1st rounder down

**Toronto Maple Leafs at [Calgary Flames](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/calgary-flames?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)**  
**Best Result: Calgary in Regulation**  
We can't lose anymore ground to Carolina for 4th. Someone slash Phil's tires so he misses the team plane.

Another important night. Go Oilers, Flames, and Blue Jackets!
