Here we are at Game 82 of the regular season with the postseason on the horizon in just a matter of days. The game at hand must be played even though both the Edmonton Oilers and Colorado Avalanche are locked into their playoff seeding and have essentially nothing to play for. However, valuable points are on the line as Nathan MacKinnon still chases the Art Ross trophy and the franchise record in points. Another wrinkle to this game is if Colorado or Edmonton finishes with more points as they sit at 105 and 104 respectively, which might matter in a potential round three meeting, therefore there’s still intrigue in the matchup.
