The Rangers at home vs Philly is a must win for the Rangers if they want to possibly catch Montreal for the final playoff spot. The Rangers only have that chance because they hold all of the tiebreakers if they in fact somehow catch Montreal. Philly is coach’less and ready for summer golfing. One would hope that a desperate Rangers team could pile on the Flyers who have no goaltending.

The Wild have to take care of business at home against the Sharks, especially with the Flames directly on their heels. This win would make it that much harder for the Flames to catch them. This should be a “taking care of business” type of game at home against an inferior opponent for the Wild. This line for the Wild correlates together perfectly and is also together on the top powerplay unit.

If the Flames win most of their games they could catch the Wild for the final playoff spot with the games in hand that they have over the Wild. The Flames also play the Wild before the season’s end. So, the Wild and Flames kind of control their own destiny. The Flames play the Ducks. The Ducks are decent, but a desperate Flames team should be in good shape here. This line for the Flames correlates together perfectly and is also together on the top powerplay unit.
