Last night, 10 games were on the schedule in the NHL. If everything was going in the direction of the Habs, the club could have placed itself in a position to officially confirm its place in the playoffs as early as last night. Here are the results and highlights : That’s a wrap on Thursday’s 10-game slate as the Rush to the #StanleyCup Playoffs continues to creep closer.

The Canadiens can qualify as early as tonight Even if Montreal didn’t play last night, we had to keep an eye on a few games : Rangers vs Islanders Panthers vs Red Wings Blue Jackets vs Sabres Rangers won (9-2), Blue Jackets won (3-2) and the Wings lost (4-1). What does that mean for Montreal? It means that if the club wins in regulation time tonight in Ottawa, it will officially qualify for the playoffs.
If they win in overtime or a shootout, they would eliminate the Rangers, the Islanders, and the Wings, but not the Blue Jackets due to the tiebreaker. The Habs have over 99% chance of participating in the spring tournament. The game is almost set.
2. The Rangers score nine goals against the Islanders In the Islanders-Rangers game, both teams played with the energy of despair, but it was the Rangers who looked better. They scored nine goals and crushed Patrick Roy ’s team.
By the way, the coach admitted to making a mistake by sending rookie goalkeeper Tristan Lennox into the game. He allowed a goal and sent Marcus Hogberg back into the game. Isles pulled Hogberg for a rookie after Rangers 6th goal, just to pull the rookie & put Hogberg back in after 7th goal pic.

12 at MTL) for the most goals in a contest by a team this season. #NHLStats : https://t.co/ZUarN8x5He pic.
twitter.com/ja8PJeqSFG — NHL Public Relations (@NHLPR) April 11, 2025 I don’t know how many chances you give the Rangers to qualify, but to participate in the playoffs, they must win their last three games, the Canadiens must lose their last three games, and the Jackets must lose one of their last four games. And the New York schedule to finish the season is not easy.

The Capitals are the best team in the East If the Habs win in 60 minutes tonight, they will not only qualify but also be one point away from the Senators. The best team among the Wild Cards will face the first-ranked team in the Atlantic. This is now official as Washington confirmed its first place in the East last night.
The second Wild Card will be in Washington at the start of the playoffs. Last night, Alex Ovechkin’s team faced the Hurricanes and won in a shootout. Caps win in the shootout and clinch the top seed in the Eastern Conference.

Brad Marchand’s first goal with the Panthers In Florida, the Panthers could help the Canadiens with a win. And that’s exactly what they did, beating the Wings with a score of 4-1. To participate in the playoffs, Detroit must win and the Canadiens must lose; it’s simple.
In the game, Brad Marchand finally scored his first goal as a member of the Panthers. Un premier but avec les Panthers pour Brad Marchand! pic.twitter.
