PLAYOFF HUNT: The Rampage are currently three points out from sharing the fifth and final West Division playoff spot with Cincinnati as the AHL regular season concludes this Sunday. The format for the 2004 AHL Calder Cup Playoffs allows the top five teams in each division to enter post-season play, with the fourth and fifth seeds play a two-out-of-three games qualifying round. The Rampage are still mathematically in, but need help from Houston and Cincinnati to reach post-season play. It's still fuzzy to put a "magic number" on it, but it's looking like the number is going to be 70 points for the Rampage—meaning that San Antonio can win two more games or tie the last four games.

Cincinnati plays Cleveland tonight, while Houston's next game is Friday against Cincinnati.
