Here's how things will go tonight.
Step 1: Root for the Avalanche to beat the Canucks. Easy peazy.
Step 2: Root for Calgary to beat Los Angeles in regulation (9:30 eastern)
Step 3: Root for Edmonton (not pictured below) to beat Dallas in regulation (9:30 eastern)
Step 4: Root for Anaheim to beat San Jose in regulation (10:00 eastern)
With those 4 easy steps, the Avalanche will vault three spots from 10th to 7th. So easy, a caveman can do it.
