Which is why it's very important to win against CBJ. That being said, funny enough, even if we lose all 3 in regulation to them, we still win the tiebreaker.The Islanders are awful lol. All these teams behind us have chances to move up, and they can't do it...MTL, NYI, NYR, DET...only team that's worthy is Columbus...
Boston 1 Detroit 2
The Canadiens and Panthers play each other two games in a row.
This is interesting because it effects the Senators in two ways. Montreal, who are fighting for one of the two WC spots with the Senators, and Florida who are fighting the Leafs for the top seed in the division. It's looking very likely that we will face the top seeded team in the Atlantic.
Florida, Tampa, and Toronto are in a virtual 3-way tie. Even know they have almost certainly guaranteed playoff spots, they still have something to fight for since home ice advantage is so valuable in the playoffs.
The funniest thing is even with our easy schedule and Detroits hard schedule, Detroit might not see a single opponent resting their stars as Toronto could still be fighting for 1st or 2nd in Atlantic in their final game. Whereas Carolina basically has 2nd secured in all but name in the Metro for our final game against them.The Canadiens and Panthers play each other two games in a row.
