That is the case in most playoff races, but the team that manages to get the 6th spot will be facing a team of similar level that happens to win the Pacific division. The Pacific is just as ordinary as the teams below them so I would say your statement is only partly true.
Vancouver may be slowing, but I seriously doubt it for the long term as they really have been mostly good since the first third of the season were they were horrible.
St. Louis is probably the favorite, but everyone will sleep through their trap slow down no goals hockey.
