The Leafs are idle tonight, making this the perfect evening to sit back and scoreboard watch. If the stars align, Toronto could wake up tomorrow morning looking significantly better, by looking significantly worse in the standings.

Here is the best-case scenario for the Tank tonight:

Blues (36P) vs. Lightning

Tank Impact: St. Louis jumps to 38 points, putting a comfortable 3-point gap between them and Toronto.

Canucks (33P) vs. Flyers

Ideal Result: Canucks win.

Tank Impact: Vancouver hits 35 points, tying the Leafs in the standings.

Blue Jackets (34P) vs. Kings

Ideal Result: Blue Jackets win.

Tank Impact: Columbus improves to 36 points, officially passing the Leafs and pushing Toronto further down the ladder.

Kraken (32P) vs. Ducks

Ideal Result: Kraken win.

Tank Impact: Seattle climbs to 34 points, breathing down our necks just 1 point back.

The Bottom Line

It’s a four-game slate, and a clean sweep for the underdogs (and tank competitors) would be a massive victory for the draft lottery odds. 

Let’s go Blues, Canucks, Jackets, and Kraken.
