The next 11 games carry us right to the half-way point (game #41). That stretch could be highly impactful on our playoff positioning at the end of the season.
Of those 11 games, 4 are against sure-fire playoff contenders, 6 are against teams that are seriously contending for a playoff spot, and only one is against an also-ran (tomorrow night's game against San Jose, who usually play us tough).
Moreover, the 6 away games are all on a single lengthy road trip.
From where we are now (42 points), I'd be happy with 6 points from the home games and 6 points from the away games. That would leave us with 42 points to get out of 41 games to attain a presumptive playoff spot (96 points).
