MBN back out for 3rd period.

Didn’t look good.

Take a Super Bowl contending team, subtract Ragnow and Joseph and Branch and put a big question mark around #1 pick Arnold. That's a significant challenge to overcome. The other stuff can be patched up by replacing bodies with bodies.

Kings win in OT. Jackets are 5 back of Detroit with only 1 game in hand now. Sens, 8 back with 2 games in hand, are in town to play the Canucks tonight.

Of course Columbus ties it up with 2 minutes to go.

Columbus trailing LA Kings by a goal but the Jackets are heading to a powerplay with 3 minutes left in the 3rd.

Oops! Too easy to mix up Detroit sports teams that stumble down the stretch.

Sens are 8 points behind the Tigers with 2 games in hand.

This is hilarious. I guess it came down to Hronek, Boeser or an orca. The Orca won.

LOLegionnaires? No, that's not our Major Junior team, which is the Sarnia Sting. It's a Junior B team but has a long history going back decades with a fair bit of success. Not sure what brought them to this state. 0-50-0. https://www.ctvnews.ca/london/article/sarnia-legionnaires-lose-final-game-to-finish-season-with-0-50-record-in-gohl/

3-0 victory! Stops the bleeding, for now.

For sure, love to see it for him.

Pens come back to beat the Bruins in OT so the Wings are 1 point ahead of Boston through 63 games. Wings hold the 1st wildcard spot currently, the Bruins hold the 2nd wildcard spot.

Arguably the biggest game of the year so far. Mo gives the Wings an early 1-0 lead in Jersey.

So the 2019 pick of Soderblom can be considered a success for a 6th rounder. Played almost 100 games in the NHL for the Wings in parts of three season and then was traded for a 3rd that was a piece in the trade for a top 4 defenseman. Only six other 6th rounders from that draft (and three 5th rounders and eleven 4th rounders) made the NHL at all, only one of whom has played more NHL games than Elmer.

#6 Ottawa also wins. They're just 6 points back of the Wings with a game in hand. Keep in mind the 4th place Wings can not make the playoffs as a 6th place team, even if only two Metro teams finish ahead of them.

The Wings have gone 3-5-2 for 8 points in the past 10 games. Florida, with 6 points, is the only team in the East with fewer points than that in the past 10. Over the past 10 games the Wings have lost ground to everyone in the playoff mix including 4 points on Tampa, 7 points on Buffalo, 7 points on Montreal, 9 points on Carolina, 3 points on Pittsburgh, 4 points on NYI, 5 points on Boston, 8 points on Columbus, 8 points on Ottawa, 4 points on Philadelphia and 4 points on Washington. Even in the West, only LA (with 7 points), Chicago (with 6 points) and Vancouver (with 7 points) have fewer points than the Wings over the past 10.

The Atlantic’s #1 Tampa, #2 Buffalo, #4 Montreal and #5 Boston all win. Of course.

Habs down 3-2 with under 6 minutes to go. You can guess what happens. 2 goals less than a minute apart and it’s 4-3 Habs with under 4 minutes to go.

Columbus was trailing Utah by 2 with under 7 minutes to go, but 2 goals in 30 seconds has tied the game at 4.

Careful, Red Wings-itis must be contagious.

The LA Kings outshot the Habs 16-1 in the 1st period but only managed one goal. Sure enough the Habs tie it up 1-1 early in the 2nd.

Go Mammoth go!
