As of Wednesday, the Edmonton Oilers have 10 games remaining, and it’s a softer 10. They’ve got the Canucks five times, the Flames twice, the Canadiens twice, and the Jets tonight. I think you could fairly expect them to win six or seven of those. If you give them seven, and 14 points, they’d end the season with 72 points.
The Leafs have eight games left, which includes two versus the Canucks, one against the Sens, one against the Jets, and four against the Canadiens. They’re at 65 points, meaning just four wins from those eight would net them eight points and 73 on the season.
