The last five games in the season could be very telling

On how well teams might play in the first round.

Hear me out. Look at the last five games these playoffs team played and I see this..

please find below...

And guess what, these are the teams that didn't made it to second round.

Sure, it could just be coincidence. But I think finish strong would definitely help confident on playoff push.

Nothing much, just something I found interesting, tis all.

Edit: Teams that going to second round. below as well..

Sorry again for the format. I am on mobile. It's probably easier to go here..

http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/standings/ Sort it by League and look at last 5, the very last column. (sorry this is wrong, it includes playoffs, the correct one is below at EDIT2)

EDIT 2: sorry i screw up. here's the correct last 5 games of the season... Losers:

3rd. Chicago 1-4-0

4th. Columbus 1-4-0

5th. Minnesota 4-1-0

7th. Montreal 3-2-0

11th. San Jose 3-2-0

13th. Boston 3-1-1

14th. Toronto 2-3-0

15th. Flames 2-3-0

winners: (i line it up with the losers respectively)

16th. Nashville 2-2-1

2nd. Pittsburgh 3-2-0

10th. St. Louis 4-1-0

9th. NY Rangers 2-2-1

8th. Edmonton 4-1-0

12th. Ottawa 3-1-1

1st. Washington 4-1-0

Ok, to summarize... The only team that has a better record on the loser side is Montreal.. the winners are usually same or better in the last five games...
