Hope this is okay that I make this thread - FBI said he wanted to pass the torch, and I have a feeling I can make a difference.

5:00 PM - Carolina Hurricanes (29-38-11) @ Buffalo Sabres (22-49-8)

This game means nothing, both teams are eliminated from playoff contention. Carolina is 11-23-4 on the road while Buffalo is 13-21-5 at home. The next bounce these teams will be hoping for is in the draft lottery.

5:00 PM - Columbus Blue Jackets (39-35-4) @ New York Rangers (50-21-7)

The Blue Jackets have a chance to extend their record winning streak to 10 games. The Rangers are trying to lock up a President's Trophy and sweep the season series against Columbus. Columbus is 22-15-2 on the road while New York is 24-10-5 at Madison Square Garden. This game is televised on Sportsnet West.

6:00 PM - Winnipeg Jets (40-26-12) @ Minnesota Wild (44-26-8)

Pavelec starts for the Jets who are 18-13-7 on the road. The Wild can clinch a playoff spot with a win tonight, and Dubnyk is starting his 37th straight game. The Wild have lost two straight, and have not lost three in a row since acquiring Dubnyk. Minnesota looks to improve on their 22-12-6 home record. The Jets are without Tobias Enstrom (day-to-day) and Dustin Byfuglien (suspension).

8:00 PM - Los Angeles Kings (39-25-14) @ Vancouver Canucks (45-29-5)

"Everybody looks at the standings every day. I mean, that's why they're hockey players," coach Darryl Sutter said Sunday, according to LAKingsInsider.com. "That's why they're athletes. I mean, do you think in every sport or any sport they don't look at the standings? Do you not think in golf, football, basketball, baseball, hockey, that players don't look at standings? I think every day you look. You'd like to know where you are, don't you? You'd like to know if you're last or first, always."

The Kings are 15-16-7 away from the Staples Center, while Vancouver is 21-15-2 at home.

8:00 PM - Dallas Stars (38-31-10) @ San Jose Sharks (39-31-9)

Both of these teams are virtually eliminated but whoever loses this game will be officially eliminated from playoff contention. It was a disappointing season for both teams. Dallas is 22-15-2 on the road while the Sharks are 19-16-5 at home.

Go Wild, Go Canucks, Go pylon. I will light some candles and pray.

The Apostle's Creed:

I believe in Devan Dubnyk,
the Goalie Almighty,
Creator of the Wild playoff push;
and in Eddie Lack, the only goalie, our savior,
Who was conceived by the hockey spirit,
born of the fantastic Mrs. Lack,
suffered under Luongo & Schneider,
was crucified, made fun of, and ridiculed.
He descended into the AHL.
The trade day he arose again from the minors;
He ascended into the Rogers arena,
sitteth at the right hand of Willie Desjardins, the Coach Almighty;
From thence He shall come to judge the playoff teams and the lottery teams.
I believe in the Hockey Spirit,
The Holy Hockey Church,
the communion of goaltenders,
the forgiveness of being a Canuck,
the resurrection of playoffs in the Saddledome,
and The Cup everlasting, Amen.
