Dogfight for the bottom

Quickly checking in on the Futility Meter, we find a respectable predictable -13, 3-5-2. We are third last in both the East and Overall, effectively tied for second last with Atlanta at 37 points on the year so far. Only the fact that we have three games in hand over Atlanta (and the delusion that we'd actually get points out of those three games) keeps us "ahead".

The New York Islanders appear to have a lock on the bottom of both the East and overall, a cool 8 points behind Ottawa and Atlanta. The odds of New York catching anyone else this season look to be devastatingly non-existent at this point.
