Canucks playoff chances and magic number
- What are the Canucks' playoff chances?
- As of Thursday, November 5, the Vancouver Canucks have a 0.0% chance to make the playoffs (unchanged since yesterday) and a 0.0% chance to win the Pacific Division, from 10,000 simulations of the rest of the season.
- What is the Canucks' magic number?
- The Canucks cannot clinch on their own yet: guaranteeing a spot would take more than the 134 points left in their 67 games, so it still depends on other results.

- How hard is the Canucks' remaining schedule?
- Their 67 remaining opponents have an average points percentage of 0.548 in the official standings, the 20th hardest remaining schedule of 32 teams. Early in the season this moves a lot.
- Who should Canucks fans root for tonight?
- Nothing else tonight moves the Canucks' odds by even a tenth of a point.
