The real race was between the Rangers, Isles, Jackets and Wings all along.
And they are all playing sudden death mode now.

Not sure why the NHL website haven't given a "E" to the Sabres yet, the max points they can finish with now is 86.

Only one game to monitor tonight:

- NYR reg. loss vs. PHI: NYR reg. loss = MTL remains 8 pts ahead of NYR and all MTL will need is 1 point to eliminate NYR.


The key goal is to hit 90 pts, which means Habs need 3 pts in their final 4 games. They hit 90, they clinch their spot because right now, NYR, DET, NYI & CBJ all have 79 pts with 5 games left. So they can only max out at 89 pts.

And considering the Islanders will face both Columbus and NYR, not all of these teams can reach 89 points.

And Detroit has 5 games left against Florida, Lightning, Dallas, Devils and Toronto, with 2 back to back and only one game left at home will be near impossible to reach 89 points.

I think we should look ahead.

3 points from Ottawa.
Let's go!!!

AGAINST THE PREDATORS

AGAINST THE RED WINGS

You forgot that won’t matter once we make the second round right

Teams have to make it to the conference finals before it affects their draft position.

Playoff team adding Ivan Demidov is crazy

There's no sad emoji (in the emojis option) when we like a post

Because we're in a playoffs positivity mode

If they beat Ottawa, I hope they rest Anderson. His body is hold by tape. Let him rest until Carolina. They have multiple young players that can step up : Roy, Beck, Kap, Demidov and Pezz (LOL)

Oh yea, I wasn't insinuating they all have a chance to hit 89 pts. I was only saying that at least one team can still win their remaining 5 games and get to 89 pts.

By the time they play on Friday, they might not need to hit 90 anymore because NYR is playing a back-to-back tonight and tomorrow. DET, CBJ, and NYI also play. NYI/NYR play on Thursday.

If NYR lose tonight, NYI and Detroit lose tomorrow and MTL win in regulation on friday against Ottawa, we clinch a playoff spot.

We had 76 points last season.

It's +11 so far.

Oh you.meant at the 78 game mark, well say so...

 

[ahmedou]

96.4%!!!

 

[morhilane]

One (or two) of NYI, CJB and NYR is assured to lose 1 point since NYI still has a game against both left.

There is only 3 teams on 4 who can reach 89 pts
If they win all their remaining games.

Looking darn good they make it. What would be preferred,overtake Ottawa as it's possible and face Toronto or Tampa or stay put and face the Capitols.

Definitely don't want to face Tampa, they've dominated us in prior playoffs, Kuch, Point, Hedman and Vasil always find a way to take over and Cooper is a great coach.
Success against Toronto may or may not happen, maybe they learned something from our last playoff appearance.
Yes, I'd rather take our chances against Washington.

 

[Redux91]

Finally, we play .500 as we have 39 wins in 78 games.

Agreed

Some say it like 'we're 9 games above 500!' and I used to for sure but I don't see that way anymore lol
We are 39-39 and it's incredible

I agree. For the simple fact that if you get past the Caps, the Canes never fail to lose in Round 2

Crazy..........we are so close.
96.4% probability of making it..................and Demidov is coming!!
