The Canadian has known for a few days that he will not participate in the Stanley Cup series, but he does not know his final position in the overall standings of the National Hockey League, even though everything is becoming increasingly clear.

The Calgary Flames’ victory against the Arizona Coyotes on Sunday allowed them to finally distance themselves from the Habs, who are in 28th place in the Bettman Circuit with 74 points and can’t be worse. On the other hand, they still have hope of overtaking two teams, namely the Ottawa Senators and the “Yotes”.

The CH can therefore reach the 26th level with a good work week against the Detroit Red Wings, whom it faces on Monday and Tuesday. However, such a rise would mean a further reduction in the chances of winning the next draft lottery.

The chances of catching the Sens are slim, as they have a two-point lead and also have the tiebreaker. Ottawa will visit the New York Rangers and Boston Bruins on Monday and Tuesday.

The Coyotes, for their part, have one point more than the Bleu-Blanc-Rouge and have only one game left, Wednesday’s against the Edmonton Oilers, which will likely be the dealership’s last duel in Arizona.

Currently, CH’s chances of winning the first bid in the 2024 auction are 8.5%, while its chances of winning the sixth bid are 44.0%.
