Yikes, if Dallas, Phoenix, and Colorado win their games in hand the Canucks would be 2 pts out of 9th. Gotta love the West considering they were 10-1-2 in December.
No we wouldn't. The only team that can pass us by winning all their games in hand is Colorado. Dallas would still be behind us, and Phoenix would be tied with us. But Colorado is probably gonna get the third spot in their division anyways so they aren't in the wildcard race with us.
Unless by 'out of 9th', you mean above 9th, as in we'd still be 8th after going 10-1-2 in December. Even then LA has now played the same number of games as us, and we're only a point back with two games against LA in the next two weeks.
