I swear to God, the Caps allow more goals at 6 on 5 than any team I have ever seen. That's got to be at least the 5th time someone has forced OT on the Caps with the xtra skater. It's infuriating. Still won in OT, but geez. No need to make us sweat, guys.

Great night for Washington. Sens, Isles, and Penguins all lose. Wings are losing. Bruins blow their lead in the final minute, so maybe OT can go our way...

... AND IT DOES! BRUINS LOSE! BRUINS LOSE!

So with the Wings loss in regulation, here's where the East stands...

Isles 93 (7)
Pens 91 (8)
Wings 90 (9)
Caps 90 (8)
Sens 85 (9)
----------------
Bruins 85 (8)

If the Bruins suddenly turn things around and go 6-2 down the stretch, which seems well outside what they are capable of right now, they will earn 12 points and finish at 97. Even then, to miss the playoffs, you would need the Sens to also earn 12 points in 9 games.

So, let's just assume that if you reach 97 points, you are virtually assured of a playoff spot (that would be a record for highest point total required). That means that all you need to do is play at less than a point/game pace. And even then you only miss if both the Bruins and Sens play insanely great.
