The Canucks appear to be in good shape to get into the Stanley Cup Playoffs this year after missing last year. With 5 games to go in the regular season, the Canucks hold down 2nd place in the Pacific Division and sit 4 points up on 3rd place Calgary and 7 points clear of the 4th place Los Angeles Kings.
The Canucks currently hold the 1st tie-breaker (ROWs) on both of those teams.
The remaining schedule for Vancouver looks like this:
@Nashville (WIN 5-4 in shootout)
@Chicago
@Winnipeg
Los Angeles
Arizona
Edmonton
Compared to Calgary and LA, the Canucks have the toughest remaining schedule
