Who do you want the Kings to play?

Only four days remain in the regular season, but the Kings could still finish anywhere from fourth place to eighth place in the Western Conference. There’s only one sure thing: if the Kings beat Anaheim on Friday and Saturday, they will finish fourth and have home-ice advantage in the first round, likely against either Nashville or Phoenix. If the Kings claim anything less than four points in those two games, their fourth-place fate is out of their hands. The Kings have 98 points, one more than fifth-place Nashville (which finishes with games against Columbus and St. Louis) and sixth-place Phoenix (which finishes with two games against San Jose). The Ducks are in seventh place with 95 points, and the Chicago Blackhawks also have 95 points, and they finish with two games against Detroit. Vancouver is assured of the top seed in the Western Conference and will play the No. 8 seed, while Detroit and San Jose are still jockeying for the No. 2 spot. How would you like to see things shake out?
