The Sens beat Dallas in overtime tonight.
An interesting stat, though - three former Sens goalies - Bishop, Elliott, and Lehner - are now a combined 18-0-9 against the Sens since leaving the Sens. In 27 games, they haven’t lost-in-regulation even once. That’s kinda astounding.

Didn't Bishop get hurt tonight too??
Also I'm seeing more stories of fans getting removed from Sens (and their AHL affiliate) for having #MelnykOut signs

Reports are coming out that Boeser is done for the year with a back injury and there's some concern that it could have been worse.
Video of the hit, he went back first into the open door to the bench

Oh! I didn't know that til today - didn't actually watch the game. I guess the ex-goalies are still just 18-0-8 against the Sens (a stat I heard in the pregame show, and that the Sens were likely to either extend or break the streak since Bishop was starting), and Lehtonen took the OTL.
Yes, I wind up catching more Sens pregame shows than actual games. The pregame show is often on radio during my commute.

And Lucic finally scored a goal last night.
It's interesting, in Oct/Nov he was on pace for like 60-70 points

Hey Boston? Go fuck yourself. Montreal? You too. I can’t fucking believe the Devils have actually been playing well, but have lost ground to Florida and Columbus because they’ve gone a combined 25-4 lately and not one team opposing them can do anything but roll over.

Reminds me of that year (lower point totals) the Caps won the division on the last day of the season after being in last at Thanksgiving. They went on a ridiculous tear at the end of the year like after the trade deadline but everyone else kept winning just as much, then Carolina finally faltered....
edit: Looked it up, they went 11-1 but the Flyers/Rangers/Hurricanes/Bruins all kept winning too.
Flyers were 7-1-1
Rangers were 5-1-4 (3 3pt games with Flyers/Devils who were also in playoff hunt)
Bruins were 4-1-3 (think they clinched before they lost the last game of the season though)
Hurricanes were 9-4-1 (2 of those losses in the last 3 games which is what allowed the Caps to steal the division, 1 to the Caps and 1 to Florida in their last game of the season)

Funny, the only team the Devils actually control their own destiny to overtake ... is Pittsburgh. 2 games head to head against them means the Devils currently stand to be able to outpace them if they win out. The same can’t be said against the Panthers, Jackets, or Flyers.

Things going well for the Devils so far tonight.
Caps finally closing in on clinching a spot. It goes from 82% chance at 0-8 to 98% at 1-7.

Devils win was huge but they still need Florida to lose and that didn’t happen. The Devils still don’t control their destiny.
Edit: I guess technically they do because of Pit-phi and Pit-clb games that can’t award 2 points to both so one of those three teams loses pace, so 7-0 does clinch for the devils because they’re guaranteed to overtake one of those three. 6-0-1 doesn’t.

Eh, winning when you are against the top seed in the conference and your opponent is against one of the worst teams has to be a good night in my book. Plus the blue jackets lost at home and 4 of their last 6 games are on the road.

And of course, one game that really should have been a good chance of Devils gaining ground was Philly at Colorado. But of fucking course Varlamov goes DTD and they called up the Hamburglar because the Devils can't have nice things like their rivals occasionally facing teams that are healthy and competent.

West Canada just rolled over for the Blue Jackets, sucks. I guess they still have to beat Vancouver to get the 6 points, but I honestly feel like 4 is already enough for them to not have a ton of pressure going on them into those last 2 games (Pens and Preds). They're at a 96% to be in if they go 1-3 at this point...
If I had to guess right now, I'd say the last team in will be on 95 points
Really feels like its down to the Devils/Panthers to me right now, has felt that way since last weekend but even more with the way the teams above them got results since then. Devils will most likely be playing 5 teams that have their spots locked at the time of the game (3 teams already out and the Leafs who are gonna be 3rd seed and Caps who would have to completely crumble to not have 1b seed locked up). 95 seems fairly obtainable to me.

Somehow Carolina is still in it.
Not really though. They'd need to win every game then need the Devils to go 0-5 against 5 teams that will likely have far less motivation (see previous post). Then they need Florida to fail to get 4 points.
I'll put it this way, even if Carolina goes 4-0, sportsclubstats has them at less then .1% to get in. Hell they have a 90% chance to finish 10th at 4-0....so not even 1 place out and thats if they go 4-0.

East looking like its about seeding now, Panthers playing 2 home games tonight and tomorrow though. They could get a nice boost back into the race if they grab 4 points, but they'll need help from the Rangers/Islanders/Red Wings to stay in it. I guess we'll see where things stand tomorrow night.
Still not sure who I'd like to see the Caps play. Probably not Philly, just cause their weakness is something we'll make into a strength.
Western Conference is a bit more interesting in the race for a spot right now. Colorado is the more unfavored team as things stand but the teams in the race have a bit more head to head matches remaining then the teams in the East (who are mostly playing teams out of the picture right now).

The East 8 could be locked down as early as tonight. In fact, if all four games end with the currently-in-a-playoff-spot-team regulation defeating the team currently-not-in-a-playoff-spot (so NJ over NYR, CLB over DET, PHI over NYI, and NSH over FLA), the chase for the last playoff slot in the east would be over and the remaining week would only be about jostling for seeding placement.

Also, fun with numbers. Sens lost their final home game of the season, and fan-appreciation night, 6-5 last night. Their captain #65 assisted on the last goal of the game with 65 seconds left on the clock, bringing the team's season goal differential to -65. He then deliberately retrieved that puck from the net... leading many to believe he wanted that souvenir of his last home game as a Senator.

The last goal was also Duchene's 200th right? Though I read the puck wasn't the puck the goal was scored with but the one with the final whistle that he ended up tucking into his pants. If he leaves it will be very interesting to see where he ends up. Any team would get a massive boost. A current bubble team could be a presidents trophy contender with him.

Connor Hellebuyck tied two NHL records tonight:
Most wins by an American goaltender in a season (43) with Tom Barrasso
Most home wins by a goaltender in a season (29) with Kiprusoff & Nabokov

That second one surprises me not so much that he tied the record as much as who he’s tied with. I would have guessed one of the big’uns (Brodeur Roy Hasek) or one of the longtime workhorses (Lundqvist, Belfour, Luongo, Barasso) would have been the holder of that.

Would need Florida to win their final 2 games in shootouts and the Flyers to lose their final game by 2.

Connor Hellebuyck overtakes Tom Barrasso for most wins in a season by an American goaltender (44), also becomes 1st goaltender in NHL history to win 30 home games in a season.
