There's been an interesting development with Washington winning in regulation vs Boston. The Panthers now have a shot at 1st in the Atlantic. The Panthers need to accrue 1 more point than Boston Tuesday i.e. if Bruins lose in regulation and Panthers lose in OT or Bruins lose in OT and any Panthers win, Florida would take the 1 seed. Now you might say, Boston is hosting Ottawa, it's so over, but the Bruins are TERRIBLE vs Tampa and great vs Toronto. They may rest players. Meanwhile Panthers coach Paul Maurice has indicated Barkov and co will dress if this game could affect seeding, and it does. Toronto is looking to get Matthews goal 70 so they can rest everyone for game 82 vs Tampa. The Leafs have a say here too as a regulation win guarantees Florida regardless of what Boston does vs Ottawa.
Around the league games of note- Arizona plays their last game as the Coyotes. The East playoff race is a cluster f***, just to break it down:
Caps-Get in with any type of win vs Philly or an OT loss along with any Red Wings loss and any Pens loss. They are out if they lose in regulation to Philly.
Red Wings-Get in with a win vs Montreal and a Caps loss vs the Flyers, or an OT loss and Washington and Pittsburgh losing in regulation. They are out if they lose in regulation vs Montreal
Pens-Get in with a win vs NYI and any loss (regulation or OT) by both the Caps and Red Wings. They are out if either Washington or Detroit win. Alternatively, if they lose in OT and Washington and Detroit lose in regulation they would also get in.
Flyers-the hail mary-need a regulation win vs Washington (cannot be OT) and a regulation loss by Detroit, along with a regulation Pens loss
