Anaheim Ducks hold a commanding lead in the Pacific Division with 84 points after 71 games, facing Calgary Flames Thursday night. Connor McDavid's 'pillow fight' comment underscores the division's tight race, where even Eastern Conference teams like the Islanders and Red Wings would rank high. Thursday's pivotal games include the Ducks vs. Flames clash and the Oilers vs. Golden Knights showdown, both crucial for draft lottery positioning.

Stathletes projects the Ducks (96.7 points) to secure the top seed, while the Oilers (89.3) and Golden Knights (92.0) battle for second. The Sharks' playoff chances have plummeted, seven points and five regulation wins behind Nashville, highlighting the division's volatility.
