Sabres lost, Oilers won, Arizona lost. Boy oh boy isn't that grand, lottery watchers? And to top it off the Canadiens lost, which I know many, many of you enjoy.
Leafs stay in 4th in the lotto, here's what's on tap for tonight, lottery-wise:
Ottawa Senators at Carolina Hurricanes
Best Result: Carolina wins in OT
Keep on winning Hurricanes! keep falling back of the Leafs. A point for Ottawa is good too, keeps giving them hope for playoffs.
Pittsburgh Penguins at New Jersey Devils
Best Result New Jersey wins
Any way NJ gets 2 points is good for me.
Buffalo Sabres @ Boston Bruins
Best Result: Boston in regulation
I know many of you don't want McEichel in Buffalo, but sorry, i can't give up on my feeling that Edmonton does not deserve anything nice any more.
Minnesota Wild at Nashville Predators
Best Result: Minnesota in regulation
Not a lottery game, but we do hold Nashvilles pick, so go on a big season ending Leafy losing streak Preds!
San Jose Sharks at Winnipeg Jets
Best Result: ehhh......too close to call
Both of these teams sit at the bottom of the lottery standings. Depends on your preference. I want SJ to iwn, keep Winnipeg out of the playoffs. Choose your own adventure on this one.
Philadelphia Flyers at Vancouver Canucks
Best Result: Flyers win
Padding the bottom of the lotto standings.
Chart is below. Edmonton and Arizona are tied in points, but the Coyotes have more ROW wins, so they sit higher (lower) in the standings than Edmonton
