Hope everyone enjoyed their Easter. My kids slept in until 7 which is a first and pretty awesome.
Only 2 games yesterday
The Bruins beat the Flyers 5-3 and set the record for most regular season wins with 63. Pastrnak scored the hat trick and had an assist giving him 60 goals this season.
The other game of the night was the Avalanche vs the Ducks and this turned out to be a good game. The Avs were up 2-0 and then down 4-2. The Avs tied it with less than 5 minutes left. In overtime MacKinnon scored his 2nd of the game and the 5-4 OT winner.
A busy night with 10 games. No tips but be sure to leave your picks in the comments.
Good luck to Team Canada when they take on the Americans tonight in the Women’s World Hockey.
Sharks vs Jets
The Jets should win this game. They haven’t yet clinched a spot.
The Sharks have lost 3 in a row.
Would lean towards a Jets win with them at home and their record in Winnipeg has been good going 25-13-2.
Leafs vs Panthers
Big game for the Panthers here. They are in the 1st wild card spot with 91 points but the Isles are in 8th also with 91 and the Pens are 9th with 90.
The Leafs have locked in 2nd place in the Atlantic so they will have home ice against the Lightning in the first round. They may rest some players for this one with nothing to gain or lose.
Sabres vs Rangers
Sabres still haven’t been eliminated, the Rangers are 3rd but can still catch the Devils.
These teams have played twice this season and both were in March. The Sabres won a game 3-2 in overtime and the Rangers did too 2-1 in overtime.
Hurricanes vs Senators
The Canes are in 1st but the Devils are only 1 point behind and the Rangers 3. They have a game in hand on both.
The Sens have been eliminated.
Islanders vs Capitals
Nothing here I like. The Isles are in 8th and trying to clinch a spot.
The Caps are eliminated.
Stars vs Red Wings
The Stars are in 2nd in the Central but have the same amount of points as the Avalanche but the Avs have a game in hand.
The Wings are eliminated.
Wild vs Blackhawks
The Wild should win this game. They have won all 3 games against the Hawks this season.
The Hawks are 1-9 over last 10.
Predators vs Flames
Easy pass here but it’s a big game for both teams.
The Predators are 3 points back with 3 games left, the Flames are 1 point back with 2 games left.
Should be a fun game to watch.
Kraken vs Coyotes
The Kraken can catch the Kings as they have a game in hand and are only 2 points back. They are on a 4 game win streak.
The Coyotes have nothing to lose.
Canucks vs Kings
Canucks are out but are playing well.
The Kings are in 3rd in the Pacific andnhave lost their last 3 games. The Kraken are only 2 points behind them so they need to win to stay out of the wild card.
