Tomorrow's games (involving Eastern Conference teams):
- Sabres 5 - Caps 4 (OT): Caps get a point, win the SE Division. The Sabres keep hope alive. Given the Devils OTW, the Caps MN for the 2nd seed is 7.
- NJD 5 - 'Ning 4 (OT): Terrible line change by the 'Ning in OT gives the Devils 2 points. Devils are 5 points away from the division clinch (Flyers).
- Flyers 8 - Leafs 5: Given the Penguins 4-2-0 record against the Flyers this year, the Flyers have a MN of 9 for the 4 seed.
- Thrashers 2 - Panthers 1: Panthers now trail the Rangers by 2 points for the 8 seed.
Tomorrow's games (involving Eastern Conference teams):
- Rangers @ Bruins: Bruins clinch the conference with a single point. Rangers are battling for their playoff lives (as well as the 7 seed). Rangers MN for the playoffs is 7 (Florida).
- Devils @ Sabres: We're all Vanek/Connolly/Pomminville fans tonight. Caps magic number for the 2 seed is 7, Devils MN for the division is 5.
- Canadiens @ Leafs: Leafs have been eliminated. The Canadiens control the 7 seed right now.
- Flyers @ Senators: Sens have been eliminated, but the Flyers are in a dog fight for the 4 seed.
- Penguins @ Hurricanes: Canes have an opportunity to control their destiny for the 5 seed with a win. A loss puts the Pens in control. Canes are currently 1 point up, but the Pens have 1 Game in Hand.
- Lightning @ Islanders: Uh...who cares. Both teams have been eliminated. Enjoy losing percentage points for Tavares, fellas.
You can also see the updated Playoff Tracker here. Note that in the tracker, I don't account for tiebreakers.
Best case Scenario for tonight:
Sabres beat the Devils in regulation, and then a bunch of jockeying for the 7 seed depending on who you want.
