Playoff standings update.
Tough break for the Ducks last night: Dallas lost, but they couldn't gain ground because of their own 3-0 loss in Chicago. San Jose has moved up to the 4th spot in the conference standings which -- if the playoffs began today -- might not be a horrible scenario. The Sharks are curiously bad at home and the Ducks have historically had their number at all times and in all places.
1. DETROIT: 44-18-6; 94 points; 122 possible points; 14 games left (9 at home)
2. DALLAS: 41-24-5; 87 points; 111 possible points; 12 games left (6 at home)
3. MINNESOTA: 37-25-5; 79 points; 109 possible points; 15 games left (7 at home)
4. SAN JOSE: 38-21-8; 84 points; 114 possible points; 15 games left (7 at home)5. DUCKS: 38-24-7; 83 points; 109 possible points; 13 games left (7 at home)

J.P. Hoornstra has been covering the Anaheim Ducks since 2007. Eight months after the University of Wisconsin won its third NCAA hockey championship, he was born in a frigid Madison winter. He betrayed his blue-blooded beginnings by graduating from UCLA in 2003, and welcomes any and all dialogue on the finer points of hockey.
