Thanks to a dismal game by Jose Theodore (and a 49-save performance by Kari Lehtonen), the Thrashers beat the Capitals last night to move ahead of the Avalanche in the standings. That drops the Avs to 27th. If the season were to end today, the Avalanche would draft 1st (10.7% chance), 4th (66.7% chance) or 5th (22.6% chance). (Lottery probabilities from NHLSCAP)
