Tougher Week Schedule - March 25-30

[Rogie-Vachon]

KINGS: At Vancouver - At Edmonton - At Calgary

VEGAS: At St. Louis - At Nashville - At Winnipeg - At Minnesota

Things can change big time in the next 7 days

Who has the tougher week?

On paper? Kings.
Knights In actual miles plus one more game.

Edit: Kings will still have to play WPG Monday, 4/1 so a little closer but Knights still tougher imo.

Tough week for Vegas but afterwards they still play VAN twice and EDM and COL once each. After the Canadian trip Kings play VAN one more time while the rest of the schedule is against non-playoff teams.

Kings going .500 on this trip would be nerve-wracking but not necessarily a sure demotion to wild card when all is said and done.

Eh, make the team step up or why even qualify for the playoffs? Kings’ play, regardless of schedule, is all that matters.

Oilers lost to the Sens today. They’re at 88 points with 69 GP. Kings are at 85 points with 70 GP. Kings still have a small chance at finishing 2nd in the Pacific and getting home ice for round 1.

 

[TooCool]

Both schedules are equally tough.

 

[Birdman]

On paper? Kings.
Knights In actual miles plus one more game.

Edit: Kings will still have to play WPG Monday, 4/1 so a little closer but Knights still tougher imo.

Winnipeg and Calgary have started to wilt.

Edmonton has pulled back to the mean as of late.

I expect we’ll earn 5 points on this trip. Anything beyond that would be a bonus.

Need to see how we stack up against Edmonton now that everybody is back

Vegas has a tougher schedule through the end of the season I believe which could help put some space between us and them...and maybe it helps us pass EDM. Last night was a big win vs the Nucks, have to win 2 of 4 on the roadie so it would be great to get EDM win Thursday. Lots of must wins coming up vs Seattle, San Jose, Calgary (x2), Anaheim (x2) and Chicago.

7-4 to end the season shouldn’t be out of the question for that soft schedule. 8-3 if everything goes right.
