Would this be a correct recap of deadline decisions for our playoff competition:

- Bruins sold off (Marchand, Coyle, Carlo, etc.)
- Islanders sold (Nelson)
- Canadiens stood pat
- Detroit mostly stood pat
- Blue Jackets mostly stood pat (acquired Kunin)
- New Jersey bought a bit (Dumoulin, Sprong, Glass) but nothing that makes up for the loss of Hughes
- New York Rangers improved (J.T. Miller, Soucy)

I was hoping, especially given our upcoming schedule, that teams like Columbus, Detroit or Montreal, who we're going to face a few times the rest of the way, would be in a position to sell at the deadline. But at least they didn't do much or anything to improve either.

Given the recent trajectory of our competition and what they did at the deadline, it seems that the Rangers should be our toughest competition the rest of the way. Good thing we started the final stretch by beating them, in our last game against them no less!

edit: I didn't take into account the strength of schedule, which apparently says that the Rangers have one of the toughest schedules the rest of the way. Even better!

Respect to the Montreal Canadiens for keeping the score against the Flames respectable.

The Devils have dropped into the wild card race, (which may help the Sens).

Devils 72 points 64 games
Sens 69 points 62 games
CBJ 68 points 62 games
NYR 68 points 63 games

Would love for the Devils to fall out of the playoffs and finish 9th or 10th along with the Rags.

Without Hughes they can definitely be caught

Ovechkin will score 10 straight empty netters!

Thank you Calgary

I already loved Dustin Wolf, this guy is the next Saros.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind if Ottawa and Columbus made the playoffs but not NJ

Need Columbus to put this away now.

Up 5 to 3 on the Rags

Not sure about that.
Short term: If Rags win they'll move a point up on the Sens, the Sens will have 2 games in hand.
But the Sens will only have 1 game in hand if Columbus wins. (No OT in both cases)

Long term: Someone (here, I believe) said the Rags have a tough schedule.

It's really more about avoiding 3 point games at this stage.
