FAQ
Can the Ducks make the playoffs?
We have no verified clinch or elimination for the Ducks, so the answer is an estimate. In our simulations they reach the playoffs in 62% of seasons. Only the official NHL standings can confirm a clinch or elimination.
What are the Ducks' playoff chances?
The Ducks make the playoffs in 62% of 20,000 simulated seasons, win the Pacific Division in 17% and win the Stanley Cup in 4%. Every remaining game is treated as a toss-up, with overtime and shootout points included.
How many points do the Ducks need to make the playoffs?
There is no single guaranteed total: it depends on how other teams finish, division places and tiebreakers. In our simulations, the second wild-card team in the Western Conference finishes with a median of 94 points. That is an estimate and a reference point, not a guaranteed qualifying total. The Ducks are projected to finish with about 96 points (middle 80% of simulations: 85–106).
