The playoff spots is getting filled.

The Pens have clinched the 6th playoff spot in the East and the battle of the two last playoff spots continues. As of now Montreal is 7th with 92p and Rangers 8th with 91p. Rangers that had a huge win last night when beating the mentioned Canadiens on home ice 3-1 is now two points ahead Florida Panthers and 6 points ahead Buffalo. I dont think the standings will change anymore despite the fact that Rangers has a back to back matchup against the Flyers. No, Florida faces of with Atlanta ,thats been doing great the last weeks, and then finishes the regular season on home ice against Alexander Ovechkins Capitals. Sorry Florida no playoff this year.

In the West Columbus is still hanging on to the 6th place in the standings yet to clinch their first playoff spot in the clubs history. With 90 points, 2 ahead of both Anaheim and St. Louis on 7th and 8th I think the Blue Jackets will have a little longer season this year than usual. Nashville, 9th with 86 points, and Minnesota, 10th with 85 points still have a chance for the playoff but I doubt they'll make it.

Oh this is exciting!
