So the Penguins being reported to aim for a "fire sale" means they are bailing out on the season. One less horse in the race for a playoffs berth in the East.

I mean they have no goaltending, and their D is shit. They have a few ok prospects: Pickering, Pieniemi, Howe, Koivunen, & McGroaty. That's it.

The three Finalists for Rookie of the Year should be :
Lane Hutson
Emil Heineman
Jakub Dobes

The Rangers have also been winning of late. They're 6-1-3 in their last 10. With their loser point last night, they move 2 points behind Habs. And they have the most RWs among the teams in the mix with 20.

They gained 3 points this weekend but they also gave up 3 points to teams they are competing with.

Its not the worst outcome for them but it does kind of feel like a missed opportunity on their part.

But it's nice to have a "confirmation" that team is looking to get worst, technically.

Them, Bufallo and the Islanders are pretty much done.

Detroit, Flyers, Rangers needs to play above .620 until the rest of the season to make it to 91 pts. I only see the Rangers pulling that off over their remaining games.

Habs needs 0.569, CJB/Ottawa need a bit less. Boston is hanging in there out of spite at this point, just fall already.

But, it's more ~93 pts teams need now, because that's what Ottawa is projected (or even 95 pts based on moneypuck estimate).
