Morning playoff check-up

No one on the board had any games last night, but everyone except the Rangers plays tonight. The Montreal-Tampa tilt at the Bell Centre ranks as the biggest.


The Lightning have taken five out of six points off the Habs this season with two wins and an OT loss, and this is Montreal’s final opportunity of the season to grab a regulation win off these guys.

Both the Flyers and Bruins have very winnable games, while Atlanta continues its treacherous end of season schedule by hosting Nashville.
