Alright, I’m getting a bit ahead of myself, but here’s the scoop: Montreal beat the Islanders today while the Maple Leafs downed Ottawa 4-2. That puts the Habs 3 points behind Ottawa with a game in hand as I write this.
Montreal meetsĀ the New York Rangers tomorrow and will come within one point of Ottawa with 52 games played apiece if they beat them. That sets Montreal up for a big win against the Senators at home on Tuesday to take a one point lead and first place in the Eastern Conference.
Cross your fingers, but I think we’ve got this one locked.












Well, it was locked until New York scored five straight goals today - thanks alot Rangers!
