It smells like playoffs in Montreal.

The habs have won a big game against the Red Wings last night to solidify their place in the standings in the East.

But there were also nine other games presented in the NHL:

1 : The Senators have their ticket for the playoffs

The Senators faced the Blue Jackets in Columbus last night.

And it didn’t go well for the Ottawa team.

The Senators lost 5-2:

But… it was still a party in the locker room after the Senators’ loss.

Why?

Because they still got their ticket for the playoffs, despite everything.

There is only one spot left to win in the East and when we look at the standings, we realize that the habs have a lot of chances to get it:

Note that this is the first time since 2017 that the Senators have gotten their ticket to participate in the playoffs.

Good for them. And I’m looking forward to seeing what it will bring…

2 : The Canucks… wow!

When a team loses by three goals with one minute left on the clock in the third period, it’s not able to come back to win.

That had never happened in history… before last night.

The Canucks achieved the feat against the Stars:

One, two, three…

The Canucks scored three times in the last minute of play to finally win the game in overtime 6-5.

It’s really crazy, we agree. We had never seen that in the NHL and I don’t remember seeing it in another league either.

Really a great effort by the Canucks.

3 : The Kid is not slowing down

The Pittsburgh Penguins took advantage of the visit of the Blackhawks to sign a 5-0 win.

No surprise here… because the Hawks are one of the worst teams in the NHL this season.

In the win, Sidney Crosby contributed by scoring his 31st goal of the season.

That gives him 87 points since the start of the campaign:

87 points for a 37-year-old player, that’s worth mentioning.

And it’s one of the best seasons in history for a player 37 or older:

He’s not slowing down, Sidney Crosby.

And that’s why seeing him potentially arrive in Montreal to play with Ivan Demidov would be something…

4 : Ah, the Sabres…

The Sabres are not good.

And we’ve been saying that for a long time.

The Buffalo team managed to beat the Hurricanes 3-0 last night, but still: they were eliminated from the playoff race… for the 14th year in a row.

It’s really hell within that organization.

Among all this, I feel especially bad for the team’s loyal fans.

It must be really tough, being a fan of the Sabres. Because it seems like they will never see the light at the end of the tunnel…

5 : 100 points for Pasta

We agree: David Pastrnak is quite a hockey player.

The Bruins star contributed to his team’s win (7-2) against the Devils by collecting three points.

Pastrnak notably scored his 41st goal of the season:

But more importantly, Pastrnak’s three points also allowed him to reach the 100-point plateau this season.

The Bruins are having a really tough season, after all… and they traded almost all their good players at the last trade deadline.


Overtime

– Clean.

– Wow!

– Preds win in overtime. Stamkos stood out by scoring four points.

– It’s heating up.

– The best scorers of the evening:
