Western Conference Playoff Chances UPDATED

I have decided that my updating the posts from last week would be a good idea, since as we all know, the less games there are to play, the more stuff is happening.

After the jump, I will list the teams again, in order of the current standings, with the number of games they have left, what they need to guarantee a playoff spot, what it guarantee them dropping out, and their most likely finishing position.  Here's links to the original West post, the new East post, and the old East post.  As I said before, all this statistical information can be found at sportsclubstats.com/NHL
