It is looking like a turtle derby for the final 2 or 3 playoff spots. Heck, the Kings also have a shot, just 6 back of the 8th place Canucks. The Kings burned the Devils 5-1 as they scored 3 goals in 80 seconds early in the 3rd period. Kopitar with 3 assists, Toffoli scored 2 goals, and Kovalchuk scored one to drive the Devils crowd crazy.

It was 80s night in Pittsburgh and it was a nightmare for them. Carolina won 4-0, McElhinney with the 23 save SHUTOUT. The win keeps them 3 back of the BJs for the last playoff spot. The Hurricanes are tied with the Sabres who also won 5-4 in the SO over the Wild.

The Wild pick up a point in that SO loss and have a 4 point cushion on the 9th place Blues who beat the Panthers 3-2 in reg time.
