Three games left. Technically, the Avalanche can lose tonight and still be mathematically alive. But even if they win, they will need two teams ahead of them to lose almost every remaining game just to have a chance. It won't happen, but it's still been fun to watch.
In other games, the Kings play Edmonton at 9:30 eastern and Dallas plays Vancouver at 10 eastern. Go Avs.
