Is this magic number to clinch playoffs or division?

I like seeing the avs at 4.



A win tonight by us and a win tomorrow by the preds and that's one team we can kiss goodbye.

They just may do better than my April 9 prediction for the playoff clinch.



GO HAWKS!

Hawks can clinch a playoff spot by winning NSH and EDM losing in regulation tonight (or afternoon).

Hawks can clinch a playoff spot by winning NSH and EDM losing in regulation tonight (or afternoon).

Was looking at the scenarios last night. This is what I'm getting in order for the Hawks to clinch today:



Any type of Hawks win (reg, OT, or SO), and

Edmonton regulation loss, and

Any type of Phoenix loss (reg, OT, or SO)



Or



Hawks win (reg or OT), and

Edmonton regulation loss, and

Any type of Phoenix loss or SO win.



Reason for the 2nd scenario. ROW=Reg or OT Wins (tiebreaker). If hawks win and phx wins in reg or OT, the magic number is "1" meaning they can still mathematically tie at the end of the season. However, the first tie breaker (ROW) will still be up for grabs. If pxs win in SO, they can only tie the Hawks in ROW (23) if they win the rest of their games in reg or OT (highly unlikely though) and it goes to the 2nd tiebreaker (head to head points) and Hawks have that.



Kind of the same thing with Edmonton as well. If they lose in OT or SO, they can still mathematically tie the Hawks in pts at the end of the season and they can still mathematically beat the Hawks in 1st tie breaker (ROW). If they lose in regulation, no way they can catch the Hawks.



I'll double check, but looks like the above is the scenario. May be wrong though. I can be. Ask my wife.
