NA Conference Staying Close

[Arce 755]

The North American Conference has remained close as most teams are about to hit 40 games played on the season. The top 5 teams are separated by just 4 points. The Seattle Bears have remained up top with 51 points in 39 games played, and are tied with Vancouver who have 51 in 39 as well. Calgary is one point back with 50 points in 38 games played. So when Calgary makes up the game, they could find themselves ahead if they can keep pace. DC finds themselves in 3rd with 48 points in just 37 games played. If DC can keep pace, they could find themselves in 1st when they make up the games. Then you have LA with 47 points in 39 games played. LA’s play has come as a surprise to some, but they are comfortably ahead of Chicago who has just 36 points in 35 games played. It has been a disappointing season for the Phoenix so far, as they had expectations high when acquiring franchise goaltender Cole Pearce.
