The Canes have 6 games left; Columbus, Chicago (3), Nashville (2), and have 73 points. If the go 3-3, win all of them in regulation and get to 79 points, Florida has to go 4-0 to tie on points. But they’d lose the RW tiebreaker. They have Chicago, Dallas and 2 against Tampa left. Tampa has to pick up 9 points in their last 6 games to tie on points. If they tie on points, they hold the tiebreakers over the Canes and would win the division. Tampa has 2 each against Detroit, Dallas and Florida. So both scenarios for them can’t happen because Tampa and Florida close the season agains each other.
The Canes are 4-1-2 against Columbus, 3-2 against Chicago and 6-0 against Nashville. Just win, baby.
