Last night, the Canadiens could have qualified even if they didn’t play. However, the Blue Jackets won. Here are the other results and highlights: The Wild Card race in both conferences intensified after the @NHLFlames (39-27-14, 92 points) and @BlueJacketsNHL (38-33-9, 85 points) earned pivotal wins to move within two and three points, respectively, of the playoff line.

Last night, they beat the Sharks and are now just two points away from the playoffs. In the last two games of the season, Calgary will face the Kings and the Golden Knights. It won’t be easy.
As for the Blues and the Wild, they will have a slightly easier task. They each have one game left to play and will face Utah and Anaheim, respectively..
. A race to watch in the West. St.
Louis can officially clinch their playoff spot with a regular-season win, and Minnesota can do so with an overtime loss. Regarding the game between Calgary and San Jose, Dustin Wolf was once again good. Watch this save to preserve the one-goal lead.

2. The Jets are the regular-season champions The Jets may have lost to the Oilers in Edmonton last night, but they still finished first in the NHL. Thanks to the Blue Jackets, who beat the Washington Capitals.
But as for the game, Winnipeg didn’t stand a chance. The shots: 38-18, in favor of the Oilers. In the win, Connor McDavid (two assists) and Corey Perry (one goal and one assist) each had two points.
Corey Perry rips it short-side and it’s 3-1 Edmonton! pic.twitter.com/a9rNatO3qy — TSN (@TSN_Sports) April 14, 2025 It was Eric Comrie in the Winnipeg net.
A rare start for him. But with the first place in the league to be officially clinched, maybe Connor Hellebuyck won’t play much in the regular season. 3.
The Lightning earn two big points In the afternoon, the Lightning faced the Buffalo Sabres. Thanks to a 7-4 win, they earned two big points to move away from the Panthers. I’ll write that they got closer to the Leafs, but they also won last night.
I’ll come back to that. Tampa is still two points away from Toronto and the highly coveted first place in the Atlantic. The two teams have the same number of regular-season wins, so this race will be one to watch.
As for the game itself, Jake Guentzel scored his 40th goal of the season. Jake Guentzel joined Auston Matthews (6x) as the second active U.S.
-born player to post at least three 40-goal seasons. #NHLStats : https://t.co/uODuM4D1xl pic.
twitter.com/9HaULamwGB — NHL Public Relations (@NHLPR) April 14, 2025 Nikita Kucherov , meanwhile, is running away with the Art-Ross. With Nathan MacKinnon set to miss the rest of the regular season, that opens the door for Kuch.

The Maple Leafs’ 50th win 24 hours after beating the Canadiens in overtime, the Leafs were back in action. This time, they faced the Hurricanes, and it was a much more convincing game. A 4-1 win.

twitter.com/GzPCQmYXoB — Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) April 13, 2025 Auston Matthews may not be the scorer he was last year, but he’s still dangerous when left alone like that. He scored his 31st goal of the season.
