We’re going to agree on one thing.

The Habs didn’t really have a big game last night in St. Louis.

But in the playoff race in the East, all the other teams lost too… :

1 : A good night despite everything

The Habs lost 6-1 to the Blues, but they can still breathe easily.

After all…

  • The Senators lost 3-2 to the Sabres
  • The Flyers lost 7-2 to the Leafs
  • The Rangers lost 3-1 to the Kings
  • The Red Wings lost 5-2 to the Avalanche
  • The Penguins lost 6-1 to the Lightning
All these games ended in regulation. This means the Habs are still in the last playoff spot this morning:

The Habs are lucky lately because the other teams in the playoff race are not taking advantage of it.

But they will have to start winning again if they want to really participate in the spring dance…

2 : Only 6 left…

Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals were in Winnipeg last night.

And guess what?

The Capitals’ captain scored his 36th goal of the season in his team’s 3-2 loss.

Ovechkin now has 889 goals since the start of his career.

He is only six goals away from breaking Wayne Gretzky’s record… and the Capitals have 11 games left to play before the end of the season.

Will we witness history before the end of the season? To be continued…

3 : The Jets are qualified

I just said it: the Jets beat the Capitals 3-2 last night.

But it was an important game for the Winnipeg team.

Nikolaj Ehlers’ overtime goal allowed the team to qualify for the playoffs:

The Winnipeg team becomes the first Canadian team to get their ticket to the playoffs.

It’s well-deserved because the Jets (49-19-4) are having a great season.

I’m looking forward to seeing them in the playoffs…

4 : Jack Eichel has fun against Marc-André Fleury

Jack Eichel’s season has been relatively quiet.

But the Golden Knights star reminded everyone last night that he is one of the best players in the league.

He reached the 90-point plateau this season with three goals.

Eichel helped the Golden Knights beat the Wild and Marc-André Fleury 5-1.

It’s going well for the Knights, who have now won four consecutive games.

5 : 100 points for Kuch

Nikita Kucherov is perhaps the most talented Russian player of all time.

Why do I say that?

Because the man is a point-scoring machine.

He scored once and had two assists against the Penguins to reach the 100-point plateau for the third consecutive season:

Kucherov is now second in the league’s scoring race with 101 points, tied with Leon Draisaitl.

Nathan MacKinnon is alone at the top with 107 points since the start of the season.

But note that not everything went perfectly for Kucherov last night in the Lightning’s 6-1 win over the Penguins.

The Bolt star may have to go to the dentist today… because he lost teeth after colliding with the net:
