The easiest way to think of the playoff race is Wins minus Losses (excluding OT losses) as once the games played get equalized that's where the points will end up. Right now we are +2, which puts us 2 games behind Philly, who is 9th in points but 8th when you adjust for games played. Toronto who is 8th is +8, so they are actually way ahead and Boston who is 7th is +3, so their high rank is a fallacy.
