Standings Check & Playoff Picture
Entering play on Thursday, the T-Birds' Magic Number to clinch a berth in the Calder Cup Playoffs sits at 4. That number lowers with each point the Thunderbirds earn via wins and OT/SO losses; it also lowers whenever the Wolf Pack fails to earn a point.
Should two teams finish the season with identical point totals, the first tiebreaker is Regulation Wins (column marked RW).
As a reminder, the top 6 teams in the Atlantic Division will advance to the Calder Cup Playoffs; the top 2 seeds will earn a bye to the Atlantic Division Semifinals. Below is what the playoffs would look like if they began today, with the sixth-seeded Thunderbirds taking on the third-seeded Penguins.
