If the Ducks beat Nashville, Ducks play Edmonton.Does Calgary make a difference now? I'd rather play Edmonton.

If the Ducks win thier game vs the Preds on Nashville and the Oilers get atleast a point vs Vancouver then no playing Calgary doesn’t matter.On the other hand,the Ducks lose in regulation or only get a point in their game,the Oilers lose their game in regulation,and Kings win their game,then the Kings would have home ice vs the Oilers,and the Ducks would be in the WC2 spot and playing the Avs in the first roundDoes Calgary make a difference now? I'd rather play Edmonton.
I was like, let's dress Panarin in goalie gear and take our chances with him over Kuemper in this OT.I get it, natural letdown after clinching but Kuemper + OT = OTL. Proven over and over. If Kuemper comes off the pine in the playoffs, Kings chance to advance go from poor to nada.

Given the AVS are the alternative, its like choosing to get hit by a train to avoid going to the dentist.Shocking loss in OT to the worst team in the NHL. I guess the Kings really really do not want to face Edmonton again.
