Boston’s loss drops them to one game in hand on Montreal which will be made up tonight when they face the Devils in New Jersey. They are likely more worried about Atlanta, who play Toronto tonight, than they are Montreal.
The Senators play the Capitals tonight in Washington, but Ottawa is quickly becoming irrelevant to Montreal’s playoff position. A win tonight would all but cement their inability to be caught by either Montreal or Philadelphia. But consider that this team, in a span of 34 games since Jan 5, has had a five-game losing streak, an 11-game winning streak, a three-game losing streak, a five-game losing streak and a four-game winning streak. So really, anything is possible.

A stat to keep in mind for these upcoming Eastern Conference playoffs, the three teams who have given up the most goals of the eight current playoff teams are Washington, Pittsburgh and Ottawa. And goaltending and defense has been known to win Stanley Cups.
