MIN 21 18 7This presents the race for first place in the SHL in the perspective of the Edmonton Blizzard. The teams that will have the magic number of zero means they are eliminated from first place and they are of no danger for the Blizzard. If Blizzard wins 21 games or win 20 games and lose once in the shootout, they will clinch the first place (assuming that Toronto wins all their remaining games)
