Davos chases Playoff Spot

[Bayley 419]

In a very unlikely turn of events, HC Davos Dynamo are now only 3 points out of a playoff spot in the VHL. They trail the New York Americans by only 3 points, but the Americans do have 1 game in hand with 13 games remaining. Let's take a look at who Davos have remaining. 

 

vs Moscow (x2) (Last place in the VHL, 1-1 at home vs Moscow)

@ Moscow (Last place in the VHL, 4-0 away at Moscow)

vs Toronto (x3) (3rd place in the VHL, 0-4 at home vs Toronto)

@ Seattle (1st place in the VHL, 1-4 away vs Seattle)

vs Vancouver (7th place in the VHL, 2-1 at home vs Vancouver)

@ Calgary (x2) (8th place in the VHL, 1-1 away vs Calgary)

vs Seattle (1st place in the VHL, 1-2 at home vs Seattle)

vs New York (5th place in the VHL, 3-0 at home vs New York)

@ New York (5th place in the VHL, 1-2 away vs New York)

 

Total: 14-15 for teams remaining

 

The record is not exactly what you were hoping, but you do face Moscow on 3 occasions where you were 5-1 aginst them this season. You also face New York twice in games that are going to matter. It's those 3 Toronto games in which you need to steal 1 or 2 games. You really cannot afford to be losing the games to Vancouver, Calgary, or Moscow. Those games will come back to bite you. 

 

This season, it has been the Elias Dahlberg and Ryan Peace show on offense. Ryan Peace has a fantastic 42 goals and 40 assists while Dahlberg has 33 goals and 55 assists. Dahlberg is good enough for 3rd in the league in points, Peace is not far behind him. Ryan Peace is third in the league in goals. These guys are going to have to be leaned on in the stretch if Davos is to make the playoffs.
