Playoff race/Scoreboard watching thread

To be fair the CBJ is 5 points behind NJD based on losing the tie breaker. They need to pass them, not tie them. Still possible but with all the 3 point games it will still be difficult. I still think the 3 games with Ottawa are going to decide their playoff fate later this month. Ottawa and Detroit (obviously) are the only two that I truly worry about a run. The Rangers...maybe, but they seem to have a serious miss in that organization. Talent is there, the team is not.

Jack Hughes took a serious fall into the boards and looks like he hurt his shoulder. Obviously not "good" news but it might help us catch Jersey

I might be too optimistic, but NJD have been in a free fall even before Hughes’ unfortunate likely LTIR injury. I don’t think it will be that difficult to catch them:

Records over the last 24 Games:

NJD 9-12-3 for 21 points (0.875 PPG)
CBJ 15-7-2 for 32 points (1.333 PPG)

That PPG rate tracks Final season points to:

CBJ 97.3
NJD 89.5

Also, during those 24 games:

NJD vs current playoff teams: 1-6-2
CBJ vs current playoff teams: 7-3-0

Their schedule doesn’t look any more favorable:

NJD 10 of last 20 games vs current playoff teams.

CBJ 10 of last 22 games vs current playoff teams.

Panthers are 8-2 in last ten, Lightning are 9-0-1

This Florida road trip will be extremely tough

So you keep telling us.

NJ are at Dallas (7-2-1) and vs WPG (8-1-1) their next two

NYRs play 15 of their last 22 vs teams currently holding playoff spots

This is going to be a fun 6 weeks.

No one thinks it won't be.

Are we going to be the first to test Seth Jones a Panther ?

They probably traded for him for the CBJ intel.
