The NHL playoff picture may not be as tight in the West as it is in the East, but several teams find themselves in the hunt with three weeks left to play. The Predators and Blues control the wild-card seeds entering play Friday, with the Kings trailing just four points behind for the second wild-card slot.
The road ahead will be difficult for the Kings, and fans will be paying up to see the team make its final push to the playoffs. On TicketIQ, Kings tickets are the most expensive among all three teams vying for a wild-card berth. With six home games remaining the team owns a $124 average. They’ll host the Blackhawks on April 8 in their most expensive remaining home game. That matchup owns a $247 average on the resale market.
Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena will be the second most expensive site among all three wild-card competitors in the West. The Predators will play six more home games with hopes of staying alive in the hunt, and Predators tickets on TicketIQ average $118 over that time. They’ll host the Wild in their top game on April 1 ($160 average) and the Flames in their cheapest game on March 23 ($67 average).
Blues fans will get the best bang for their buck over the six remaining games at Scottrade Center. As it stands now the average resale price for Blue tickets is just $94. Their relatively lax schedule may be causing that lack of ticket demand, however, as the Canucks, Flames, Coyotes, Jets and Avalanche will all travel to St. Louis over the next three weeks.
