Standings Based on Points-Per-Game Performance (Jan 31)

[RW]

The Pens continue to move closer to MTL and OTT with every win. Home ice advantage in the first round, anyone?

As always, team name is followed by points earned per game and then by 82-game points projection based on YTD pace:

1 * Buffalo 1.385 114
2 * New Jersey 1.294 106
3 * Atlanta 1.245 102
4 Montreal 1.196 98
5 Ottawa 1.170 96
6 Pittsburgh 1.143 94
7 Carolina 1.094 90
8 NY Rangers 1.080 89
9 Tampa Bay 1.077 88
10 Toronto 1.059 87

Let's just worry about holding on to our playoff spot. It's too soon to think about that far of a move up.

As of right now the Pens are only 6 points behind 4th place with 4 games in hand on Ottawa!

Thanks RW for keeping us updated. I really appreciate it!

And, just an FYI, if you're interested, you can space out your standings chart with equal spacing by using the "Code" button just below the subject line of the post page. SImply hit "Code" before you begin typing, then hit "Code" again when you finish. But make sure you prveiw before you post, just to make sure everything is lined up. It will put the standings in a fixed-width font which will line everything up for easier reading. Just a suggestion.

Just a quick peek for ya:

Thanks for the tip. Nice feature...

If anyone cares, The 92-93 Sharks have the greatest single season point improvement of 58 points going from 24 to 82. For us to beat that we need to hit 117. Doubt that would happen since I'd be thrilled with hitting 100 points.
