20. Los Angeles Kings

Previous: No. 19

Record: 34-31-7 (75 points)

The Kings are busy playing themselves right out of postseason contention. They’ve lost their last two games and sit six points behind St. Louis for the second wild card spot with just 10 games to play (and the Blues holding a game in hand). Who could’ve guessed missing Jonathan Quick for most of the season could cause this much trouble? Everyone, but still.
