Statistics show that the Kings would have to go 29-7-5 in the second half to match last season’s record, which was good enough for the first wild-card entry. In other words, that’s a three-out-of-four win pace the rest of the way. Although it’s not a big point differential to make up for a wild-card berth, it is a lot of teams to hurdle to get there.
