Looks like Portland has the hardest road. Two games against Calgary, don't forget about Colorado and Minnesota. The two latters fighting it out for both a home playoff game and even more important holding on to their position in the standings.

Of course I like SJ chance of getting into the second season.

I didn't actually look at when they play, but Portland does have it tough. Two games next weekend, at Edmonton and the fly back to play Colorado at home.
The following weekend another double header, both on the road at Calgary and Minnesota. Last week home to Calgary.

Portlands key game for making the playoffs, is next saturday against Colorado, a win would give Portland a 2:1 series tie breaker to go with there tie breaker on San Jose. with the number of head to head games left between teams fighting for the final spot, 7 wins and two tie breakers should SQUEAK you in.
