Plötsligt är SE-uppdelningstiteln ej längre en foregone avslutning för Carolina, med endast två pekar att avskilja dem och huvudstäderna. However, they do have a game in hand on the Caps and face the two worst teams in the East this weekend, so they still hold the reins.

. While not mathematically eliminated yet, two straight losses  and 3 of 4 remaining on the road  pretty much guarantees the Panthers’ playoff drought will continue.

. Boston had an auspicious start this week, eliminating the Leafs and getting four must-have points in the process. Their road gets tougher now as they face a Senators team struggling to hold home ice advantage, then go to Buffalo where the Sabres are fighting for their playoff lives.

. The Sabres could not afford to lose both games versus Ottawa  and they didn’t. While Buffalo collapsed in the 3rd at home, they staged an impressive Shootout win in Canada’s capital last night. But 4 of 5 against Montreal and Boston likely spells the end of their run unless Ryan Miller notches a couple shutouts.

. A good start for the Flyers, and tonight they face a bruised-and-battered Devils team coming off a heartbreaker of a loss to the Rangers (though one should never bet against Brodeur). Then the black and orange go to Long Island on Saturday for another winnable game. And they’d better win, as their last three games are exceedingly difficult.

    What a difference four days can make!? Thanks to OFB for the analysis. As a Caps fan, its nice to be worrying about being on the bubble versus getting the clubs out of the closet.

    I think you mean “within 2 points of Philly, BOSTON and Carolina”.

    Buffalo is 3 back of us with 1 GIH.
