Playoff Percentages: Kings earn biggest rise with comeback win

Through the remainder of the regular season, we'll take a look at how each night's action impacts the playoff race, highlighting which teams' postseason odds went up or down significantly.

With less than a minute left in the Kings' matchup with the Minnesota Wild, it looked like Los Angeles was going to walk away without a point, but instead it picked up two. Dustin Brown deflected home a Drew Doughty point shot with 47 seconds left in regulation to tie it, before Jeff Carter notched the OT winner.

It was a massive two points for the Kings, who have significantly improved their chances of returning to the postseason after missing out a year ago.

Here's a look at the percentages following Monday's games.

Western Conference

Team	Result	Playoff Chances	Change
Kings	4-3 OTW vs. MIN	82.7%	+9.8%

Over in the East, the Devils underwent the biggest percentage change despite doing nothing but watching both the Blue Jackets and the Panthers walk away victorious Monday night.

Eastern Conference

Team	Result	Playoff Chances	Change
Panthers	2-0 W vs. MTL	53.5%	+5.7%
Blue Jackets	5-4 OTW vs. BOS	88.9%	+5.4%
