While the GDT isn't fully related to this game, I was inspired by the irrational outrage thrown at Kotkaniemi by several Canucks fans and had to do something about it.
Boston and Buffalo facing each other tonight.
If the Habs can win this one in regulation, they would move ahead of either Boston or Buffalo.
Habs are playing well lately and Price seems to be back.
Nashville is not playing well lately. 3-5-2 in their last 10 games.
It's the 2nd of a back to back game on the road, even if Saros is playing well lately, might not be enough.
I'm going with a 3rd straight win for the Habs
An unfortunate side-effect of our win against Vancouver is probably a win for Toronto against them. I don't see how the Canucks beat the Leafs without Pettersson.Not to mention, Habs have done well against Nashville lately.
2016-17: Habs won both games against them.
2017-18: Habs lost both games in a shootout.
Out of all those 4 games, Habs picked up 6 of a possible 8 points. They do well against the Preds.
Also would be nice to have Blues beat Isles to widen the gap between Habs and Isles. And it would also be nice to see Vancouver beat the Leafs. Because a Habs win and a Leafs regulation loss would put Habs 3 points behind Toronto, with them having one game in hand.

Mete gets his first and PK & Gally drop the gloves

But yes, if the cards fall in our favour, the Habs could be 3rd in the division and 9th overall in the league after tonight. Or we could be out of the playoff spot.
Gally shouldn't be dropping them with his prior hand injuries and PK can't fight so not expecting that to happen.
