We do. A regulation win against Ottawa eliminates all of them: NYR, NYI, Detroit & Columbus - that's assuming NYR wins the NYI game. It's 5-1 Rangers in the 3rd.

Columbus can only get a maximum of 89 points, 30 RWs. Montreal can achieve that with a regulation win tomorrow moving the tie breaker to ROWs, which we lead by a lot.

Detroit, NYR & NYI will all be eliminated with one point, as they can only top out at 87 points, which Montreal is already at.

It's in our hands. Win in regulation tomorrow and we clinch with 3 games left in season.

I don’t want to catch the Sens, but I also want to clinch and let Armia and Savard rest.

Realistically we'll probably need 0 pt as I doubt any of Det-NYx2-CBJ can finish with 4 consecutive wins. Still I want a reg win tomorrow to have a relaxing week

 

[Milhouse40]

Habs only need 2 if those 2 points are obtained via a regulation win. 2 ot losses wouldn't be enough though

Both are kind of true.....2 points won't be enough if they are not in regulation depending on how Columbus wins those games...... so technically to be 100% certain to make the PO, the Habs need 3 points., even if the 3 points comes in OT, it will be enough.

 

[dinodebino]

It‘ll be against Chicago.

 

[Redux91]

I mean
Haven't we been throttling Ottawa all year lol

I honestly can't wait
To clinch in this fashion would be so great, in Ottawa to boot where we take over the building EVERY time lmao

 

[MarkovsKnee]

6-1 Rangers. Thanks for helping Rags. Lol

Let's just win in regulation tomorrow to end the race and its associated calculations

 

[Andrei79]

Almost a perfect night.

Everyone loses but Columbus. Only 1 regulation win to clinch.

And I got to be interviewed with my girlfriend at Pearson before Demidov arrived.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

It‘ll be against Chicago.

We're beating Ottawa tomorrow. They've clinched. I would not be surprised if they rest guys. It's doubtful Tkachuk plays. He's been out.

 

[Andrei79]

Cue the comeback 6-2 NYR-NYI with 9 minutes to go.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Guys, we will clinch against Toronto with Demidov hat trick to be only at 892 to tie Ovy!!

 

[Adam Michaels]

So MTL need 1 point to eliminate NYR, NYI & DET.

After tonight, they still need 3 pts to eliminate CBJ.

 

[Andrei79]

7-2 NYR. Strong showing by Roy's Islanders with their playoff lives on the line.

2 pts In regulation***

Let’s hope so.

 

[Benstheman]

So we need 1 pt to eliminate Det and NYR and 2 pts for CBJ.

Let’s finish it tomorrow night by sweeping the Sens.

Win needs to be in regulation to eliminate the Jackets

You are right thanks

 

[BergevinBurner]

One of those aging teams that missed the playoffs HAS to decide to rebuild with McKenna and DuPont coming. I'm hoping the Isles are one of them so we can get our grubby little hands on Horvat or Barzal.

 

[zx81]

Looking at the schedule, we could clinch before the Leafs game even if we lose tomorrow.

Wings could be eliminated with a loss against TB tomorrow.

Saturday in afternoon
Cbj receive Was
Nyi play at Flyers
NyR play at Canes

All tough games (even the Flyers one).

Would prefer a reg win tomorrow though

 

[Boud]

Let’s hope so.

Honestly I know you guys will clinch no matter what but Tkachuk will be out tomorrow it’s pretty much a guarantee. Word is they’ve shut him down for the rest of the season. Maybe he plays the last game of the season. He’s not been skating for a week.

Nick Jensen is also rumoured to potentially sit for a few.

 

[red devil]

Rangers get the 2 point conversion and have only given up a safety 8-2

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

So only Columbus's magic number remains at 3. That much closer to clinching.

 

[BergevinBurner]

Flashscore gave me a heart attack for a second lol.
