That’s because we have a game on Columbus — who wins a tiebreaker presently. If we both win one game — that still holds, of course. We need to loose out and hope that get a point/points tonight against Philly. They’re gonna get a point against PIT and likely not against BUF either. Tonight or bust for last place.

the Blackhawks don’t _truly_ have the top odds right now, CBJ does unless CBJ gets a point.
Blackhawks record: 25-49-6 – 56 pts
Blue Jackets record: 24-47-8 – 56 pts (1 less game played)
the Blackhawks « points percentage » is lower, because they’ve played one more game. What really matters here is that the teams are tied in points, and the first tiebreakers is regulation wins – of which the Blackhawks have 1 more.
Barring a CBJ regulation win, or at the very least a CBJ game going to overtime so they get a point (invalidating the need for a tiebreaker), CBJ is still in control of its own Bedard-odds-destiny. If CBJ loses every game from here on out, in regulation, they’re guaranteed top odds.
