I looked this up...in last 20 games... of the six teams in the hunt for playoffs ( Stars-Oilers who are # 7 and 8 and then the next four down incl the Blues) here how they have done over that span:

Ducks have lost 11
Predators have lost 8 incl 0-3 in last 3 games
Minn lost 12
Stars lost 11
Oilers lost 12
and the Note lost 8 (them 2 Feb back to back losses in last sec's still killin me)

I do believe we are trending up where a few of these teams are goin south. No jinxin here...just the facts ma'am.

Go Blues!
