from Wayne Scanlan of the Ottawa Citizen,
How accurate a snapshot do we get of the NHL standings at the quarter-pole of the regular season?
Based on last year’s evidence, pretty accurate.
I took a snap of the standings about one year ago, Nov. 21, at which point most clubs had reached the 20-game mark. I wanted to see how many of the top eight teams at that juncture actually finished in the top eight.
Conversely, how many outsiders at the quarter mark leaped up and grabbed a playoff berth.
Of eight Eastern Conference teams holding playoff spots on Nov. 21, five held on to those spots, while three fell out.
In the West, the picture was even more in focus. Six of the eight eventual playoff teams were already in postseason position.
