Mitch Marner hit 100 points on the season for the first time in his career, doing so in a season where Matthews has only scored 32 goals.

Legacy check, Marner is 5th all-time in Leafs points, making his way up to Borje. Matthews is only 20 goals back of passing Mats Sundin for the goals lead, he's also 6th in points. Nylander's not far back in both categories.
Marner was also nominated for the King Clancy Memorial Trophy for leadership on and off the ice.
Like everything in Hollywood, the Battle of Ontario is back for a remake. I hope it's as good as the original! I hear they're filming it as a live-action oner in 4K this time!

Easton Cowan had a goal and an assist for London in the second round.
Oshawa's captain, Ben Danford, had a goal and an assist in the second round.
Lethbridge's captain, Noah Chadwick, did not have a goal and an assist, instead going -3 in a 5-3 loss to Calgary (two of the dashes were empty netters). Lethbridge still leads the series 2-1.

We continue to cover the Montreal Chokes Out Of The Playoffs developing story with wall-to-wall coverage. Part Two in the saga saw the Columbus Blue Jackets handily beat the Philadelphia Flyers 3-0, bringing them only two points back of Montreal for the final wild card spot in the East. If the Habs lose tonight, and the Blue Jackets win on Thursday night, then the Habs are out – clutching golf clubs from the jaws of a first round exit.
Tonight, the scene shifts north to the Bell Centre where the Habs are hosting the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 82 for both teams. Can Freddy Andersen do one more favour for Leafs fans? Can Jack Roslovic from Columbus, Ohio do his hometown a solid? Where will Jagmeet Singh be watching the game from after the French Language Debate? Will he be watching it with Yves-François Blanchet? Will Mark Carney ask to put it on the English feed? Will Pierre Pollievre accidentally sing the US national anthem? These are the questions Canada is asking.
