The @Avalanche earned their sixth multi-goal comeback win of the season – tied with the Wild, Hurricanes and Oilers for the third most behind only the Kraken (9) and Ducks (7). #NHLStats: https://t.co/g4eoeqdxmw https://t.co/mzU2kqtOqF

But if they want to participate, they will have to start winning. Last night, they were crushed 5-0 by the Kraken. Their chances of making the playoffs are slim…

With seven games left and an eight-point difference with St. Louis, it will be tough…
The Flames are seven points behind Jim Montgomery’s team, with eight games left to play.
For the Kraken’s win, Jared McCann led the way with a three-assist performance.

– Players with two or more points.

– In addition to the Canadiens-Bruins game, Lightning-Senators, Avalanche-Blue Jackets, and Ducks-Flames will be worth watching.
