ALL GOALIES ARE CONFIRMED UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED AT TIME OF PRINT
With most of today's matchups not meaning a whole lot, we will focus on a few that have seeding positioning implications and one classic Canadian rivalry:
In the case of Boston, the President's Trophy may be on the line in this matchup against their nemesis Buffalo. Despite the vast disparity in points, the two teams have split their four meetings this season, with the Bruins holding a slight goal advantage (15-12) in those games. In what is their final home "dress rehearsal" before their playoff run, look for the "B's" to snap their two-game skid and enter the postseason on a "high"...
With the New York Rangers having nothing to play for, the Montreal Canadiens need this win in a big way. If they can secure the two points tonight behind Carey Price, and the Lightning fall tomorrow, the Hab's will grab home ice for the first round in the playoffs. Huge incentive and a 10-1-1 record in last 12 meetings against the Blueshirts. The Price will be right...
Sergei Bobrovsky returns to the net for Columbus, who have an outside shot at 3rd place in the Metropolitan Division with a win over Florida tonight and Philadelphia losing both remaining games. If they can pass Philly, they would avoid Boston and Pittsburgh in the first round of playoffs. Look for "Super Bob" to take care of business in the Sunshine state..
Old-fashioned "grudge match" taking place in the Canadian capital, as the reeling Maple Leafs take on the resilient Ottawa Senators. Toronto has won six straight against the Sens, but the home team is finishing the season on a high note with three consecutive victories. We love Craig Anderson to take this one in a nail-biter...
