Anaheim Ducks lead the Pacific Division with 87 points, but Los Angeles Kings (76 points) and San Jose Sharks (75 points) remain in playoff contention. All three California teams face critical games Wednesday, with the Ducks hosting the Sharks and the Kings battling the Blues. Stathletes projects the Ducks at 99.9% playoff probability, while the Sharks (60.5%) and Kings (22.6%) face steep odds.

The Kings’ low regulation wins (19) hurt their tiebreakers, requiring urgent wins to climb. A win Wednesday could shift momentum, but their path remains uncertain. The Sharks, with two games in hand on the Predators, need consistent results to secure a wild-card spot.

Meanwhile, the draft lottery looms, with all three teams’ futures tied to the season’s final stretch.
