Well, with the Ranger win and the Montreal OT loss last night, the Rangers own sole possession of 5th place in the conference with 68 points, 1 point behind the 4th place Flyers. The Flyers have 4(!!!) games in hand though. That could change tonight, with Montreal, Florida and Buffalo all in action tonight, along with the two teams on the cusp: Carolina and Pittsburgh.

Carolina takes on the Islanders tonight, the game is on MSG+. I’ll be watching that, and as much as it hurts to say this, I’ll be rooting for the Islanders.

Buffalo is in Philly tonight. This also hurts to say, but I’ll be rooting for Philly. Those games in hand are a possible 8 points. I don’t see the Rangers catching Philly at all.

Florida hosts Chicago tonight. This is a no brainer, Chicago is easy to root for.

Montreal is in Pittsburgh tonight. I’m hoping Mellon Arena collapses.
