Bruins-Jets-AWAY

It’ll be a while before the St. Louis Blues officially punch their ticket to the 2014-15 playoffs, but all signs are pointing to the team making another trip to the second season. The Blues have been riding a wave of success which may make this article seem a bit redundant, but what are the exact odds that the Blues will make the playoffs? Are they a contender for the Presidents’ Trophy?

Prior to any action on Saturday, January 31st, here’s how things shake out:

Via SportsClubStats:

Percentage to make the playoffs: 99%
Percentage to win the Presidents’ Trophy: 16.2%
Percentage to win the Cup: 13.9%

A lot of things can change which might shake up these percentages, but the underlying fact is that the Blues pretty much have a playoff spot locked up. The odds to win the Presidents’ Trophy will change quite a bit and the odds to win the Cup are basically a wild guess, but it’s still fun to see the Blues are placing themselves in a top spot in the second half of the season.
