Tonight's Game Of The Night : Colorado @ Anaheim. This is a huge game for both teams, who both could still easily fall out of the playoff race completely. A Colorado win would put them at 84 points, which would tie them with Calgary for 3rd in the West. An Anaheim win would put them in a tie with Colorado for 5th in the West. No other games will impact much in the west tonight, as Dallas is way ahead of the playoff race, and Minnesota is too far behind to make an impact.
Four of the top 5 teams in the East are in action, as Buffalo plays host to Carolina, and the Rangers play host to Philly. A Philly win would put them in a tie with the Rangers for 3rd in the East. That being said, the Rangers have a game in hand. Washington visits Florida, where the Panthers need a win to get closer to the 8th playoff spot in the East. Florida sits 7 points behind Atlanta for the final playoff spot, and still has to pull ahead of NYI, Toronto and Montreal before they can worry about Atlanta. Atlanta and Florida will play each other two more times before the season ends.
Tomorrow's blog will be a must read as far as the playoffs are concerned, as there are several huge games tomorrow, especially in the East
