Much like the West, there is a pretty good battle for the Wildcard out East. Unlike the West, there is really only 1 spot up for grabs, as the 8th place team gets the honor of being massacred by the Lightning, so all 3 teams know that finishing 7th is the only real chance they have.
There are also no more 4-point games left in the race (last night was the last), so will be a tight finish with CBJ having clawed back into a spot. Habs being a game down will need some help in the final stretch here.
