“Uncovering the Secrets Behind the NHL’s Unranked: What Lies in Store for the Wild and Canadiens?”

Getting passed for seventh place isn’t ideal, but it’s far from an emergency. It probably means playing the Jets instead of the Golden Knights in Round 1, and that’s not necessarily a huge jump in degree of difficulty. The bigger question is whether dropping to eighth could be the precursor to dropping even further. And that’s where things get scary for the Wild.
Scary, mind you, but not terrifying. They were still sitting at 90 percent odds in yesterday’s projections, and that will go up with the Canucks losing. They’re six points up on Vancouver with the same number of games played, and seven up on the Flames, who have two in hand. They’ll likely hold the regulation wins tiebreaker over the Blues, and would definitely hold it over the Canucks or Flames. They’re in good shape.
