Anaheim Ducks' lone bright spot last night was to see Teemu Selänne climb another notch in the career scoring list, passing fellow Finn and childhood idol, Jari Kurri. The final score in the end of the game pretty much finalized their season. Colorado took the two points and making it to overtime provided one for the Ducks. They could reach 93 points by winning all of the remaining games and miraculously slip into playoffs with that. However, their recent play doesn't give much hope for miracles. Time to polish those golf clubs.
The winner of that contest, Colorado Avalanche, is instead on a roll. They find themselves again in the top eight, but the joy may be brief considering that there's three teams behind them within two points margin and all of them have at least two games in hand. Nevertheless, Avs have played way better recently than any of the teams they're fighting against, so we might witness them taking a firmer grip on the playoff spot in the coming rounds.
San Jose Sharks managed to wrestle one victory against the young and already eliminated Edmonton Oilers. The Sharks play rejuvenated Clagary Flames today in a four-point game. Victory there would catapult them all the way to seventh spot, a loss would see Calgary overtake them. Playoff atmosphere, guaranteed. Meanwhile, Phoenix Coyotes took another loss and are actually becoming targets for the desperate bunch under the playoff line in the West.
