Would be nice but the Avs lost their starting goalie for the rest of the season along with Erik Johnson from their top 4. Going to be tough.
Johnson is a big loss for the Avs. Losing Varlamov in net is a bummer, but, Bernier is very capable as he was in net for 9 games during the Avs 10 game winning streak.
A big win for Philly, their magic number is now 3 to clinch a playoff spot. The Bruins now have a 2 point lead over the Lightning for 1st place in the east. ______________________________________

The Predators now have a 3 point lead on the Bruins for 1st overall and their magic number is 2 to clinch 1st in the west. ______________________________________
2at1 in regulation
The Devils can still get home ice advantage in the first round and their magic number is 4 to clinch. ______________________________________
3at1
The Capitals victory has made them clinch 1st place in their division. ______________________________________
1at 2 in overtime
This is not the result the Stars wanted as they can't catch the Ducks for a playoff spot and now need the Avs and Blues to lose out. The Avs are back in 8th place just 1 point ahead of the Blues.
