With the regular season winding down, there's still something to play for, for the Edmonton Blizzard. While the Blizzard have a playoff spot locked up, they are still in a battle for first place in the West and also for the President's Trophy. Entering the final games of the season, there are 3 teams battling it out at the top, the Calgary Dragons, Hamilton Steelhawks, and Edmonton Blizzard.

In the West, the Dragons lead the Blizzard by one point, 62 to 61. The Dragons have one game left, while the Blizzard have 2 games left. If Edmonton wins their final 2 games, they clinch top spot in the conference. That would give them home ice advantage throughout the West playoffs.

As for the President's Trophy, the Steelhawks are currently leading that race. They have 65 points, with 1 game left. If Hamilton gets just one point in their final game, they clinch the President's Trophy. However, if they lose their game and Edmonton wins both of their games, the Blizzard would win the President's Trophy by virtue of the ROW tie breaker.

So as you can see, even at the very end of the season, the Edmonton Blizzard still have a ton to play for. The Blizzard have a couple of tough games to finish the season, but the biggest obstacle will be the game against the Jets. The Jets are fighting for their playoff lives so they are going to give Edmonton absolutely everything they can handle. My prediction is that Edmonton wins the West, but loses the President's Trophy to Hamilton.
