Technically no, but it's huge.

The Blues aren't likely to win all their remains games and neither is anyone else, but losing head-to-head to the team you're battling it out with is never good, the hole gets deeper.

Originally, I said yes. Now I am changing it. We are in the middle of the hunt. I would really like to win to get some separation with the other wildcard chasers.

Not a must win but probably the biggest game for this franchise since the last playoff game against COL.

Of course it's huge. Biggest since play offs I suspect.

As asked, I just think "must win" is not the case here with 13 games remaining for the good guys.

Here's the thang :

Two/three weeks ago, the 'analytics' had the blues w/ a 5% chance at making the P[ositively] O[bnoxious] S[impleton].

Times have changed.

Edit : I'm going to leave the helpful suggestions just as I found them.

Not “must win” but pretty important. Winning just isn’t points, but sends a message to Vancouver as well.

If Calgary loses and we win, that puts them 4 points back and we own the tie breaker. That’s a big gap to overcome.

Teams fighting from behind tend to play desperate and make mistakes which compounds their issue. I’m hoping we pitch both VAN and CAL in that position.
