    After 68 games, the Vancouver Canucks have put themselves in a fantastic position. Currently sitting at 92 points, they are the favourites to win the Pacific Division and are considered a Stanley Cup contender. Here is a look at where the Canucks stand with one month to go in the season and what they are projected to do come playoff time. 

    Based on the projected playoff bar, Vancouver needs just six points in their final 14 games to clinch a playoff spot. This is why sites such as MoneyPuck have the Canucks at a 100% chance of making the postseason. While it is mathematically possible they could miss, it would require one of the biggest collapses in NHL history, which, based on Vancouver's future opponents this season, does not seem likely. 

    Once the playoff spot is secured, the focus shifts to the Canucks clinching their first Pacific Division title in franchise history. According to MoneyPuck, Vancouver has an 82.1% chance of finishing first in their division, with the Edmonton Oilers sitting with the second-best odds at 17.5%. While the Oilers do have three games in hand, they have a demanding schedule ahead, which includes three back-to-backs in April. Nothing is guaranteed, but as of right now, the Canucks have put themselves in striking distance of the division crown. 

    Lastly, we get to the playoff odds and how far Vancouver will go. While this is always a toss-up, as the postseason is unpredictable, MoneyPuck likes the Canucks odds to take home their first Stanley Cup. According to their projections, Vancouver has an 18.1% chance of making the Final while also posting the fifth-best odds of capturing the Stanley Cup at 9.6%. The team's ahead of the Canucks are the Carolina Hurricanes, New York Rangers, Colorado Avalanche and Toronto Maple Leafs. While there is still plenty of time before the Stanely Cup is awarded, these odds show how strong Vancouver's roster is and how much respect they have earned through their play this season. 

    While there is still work to be done, these odds are a good reminder of how special this season has been. The Canucks are projected to surpass the 110-point mark for the third time in franchise history and are on pace to secure home-ice advantage for the first three rounds of the postseason. It should be an exciting final 14 games as Vancouver gets set to play their first playoff game in front of fans since
