State of Affairs: Eastern Conference

Let's look at what every Eastern Conference team is facing for the rest of the season**

I moved St. Louis and San Jose to the upper tier. I moved Florida down to b-level. Detroit, now on a 4 game losing streak, got moved down a level, as well. I almost moved Arizona down, but thought I should wait until they are clearly out of the playoffs.

To get the probable points, I just took the points percentage since mid-January and applied to the potential points for the remaining games.

Metropolitan
Washington: 92pts. 12H 12A. 7a 4b 9c 4f - probable pts: 130/140
New York Rangers: 74pts. 10H 13A. 6a 5b 7c 5f - probable pts: 103/120
New York Islanders: 69pts. 10H 15A. 2a 7b 8c 8f - probable pts: 102/119

Atlantic
Florida: 75pts. 9H 14A. 0a 6b 7c 10f - probable pts: 103/121
Tampa Bay: 70pts. 10H 13A. 1a 6b 9c 7f - probable pts: 102/116
Boston: 70pts. 11H 11A. 7a 6b 6c 3f - probable pts: 98/118

Wildcard
Pittsburgh: 68pts. 12H 11A. 3a 7b 9c 5f - probable pts: 99/114
Detroit: 69pts. 10H 12A. 3a 6b 4c 9f - probable pts: 93/113

Need to over-perform:
Carolina: 64pts. 10H 12A. 2a 9b 4c 7f - probable pts: 91/108
New Jersey: 65pts. 11H 11A. 5a 7b 5c 5f - probable pts: 90/109
Philadelphia: 63pts. 13H 11A. 2a 6b 9c 7f - probable pts: 87/111

Hopeless:
Ottawa: 62pts. 10H 12A. 4a 7b 3c 8f - probable pts: 85/106
Columbus: 55pts. 12H 10A. 2a 5b 11c 4f - probable pts: 82/99
Montreal: 61pts. 11H 11A. 6a 7b 3c 6f - probable pts: 77/105
Buffalo: 55pts. 10H 12A. 3a 4b 5c 10f - probable pts: 77/99
Toronto: 50pts. 16H 9A. 2a 9b 6c 8f  - probable pts: 66/100

** Here are the way I rank the teams for the remaining games.
a - teams that have had multiple good win streaks in the season and are still playing at that caliber or close to it.
ANA,CHI,DAL,LA,SJS,STL,WSH
b - teams that have teased with greatness - having a win streak or more but have smaller loss streaks too.
BOS,FLA,MIN,NYI,NYR,TBL
c - teams that have beaten good teams and can't be just forgotten. Still in the playoff hunt.
ARZ,CAR,COL,DET,NSH,NJD,PIT,PHI
f - teams that just aren't good.
BUF,CGY,CBJ,EDM,MTL,OTT,TOR,VAN,WIN
