Stupid Detroit loses to Ottawa. Out shot them 49-23, too, but Ullmark wasn't having any of it.
Ottawa is @ Philadelphia tomorrow, which I expect them to win, so they will be 7 pts up on Montreal by the time the Vancouver game starts. Habs will have a game in hand.
Columbus is @ NJD tomorrow, and I also expect them to win that game as New Jersey is really faltering right now.
That means Montreal will be 6 pts back of a playoff spot again before Vancouver game.
In any case, the target may be switching to New Jersey anyway. Even though we're 8 pts back, we'll hold 3 games in hand on them.
NJD have a decently hard schedule, while Sens have a cake walk schedule.
