Great job by the Pens.

Oh and the Kings lost last night, the West is now officially set for the playoffs. Just some jostling for the next week over who gets what bracket.

In the East: Philly is out, Carolina are hanging by a thread and the Isles and Bolts stand as the lone credible threats to the remaining unclinched playoff spots.

[El Canuck]

Montreal clinched their division tonight, the Senators and the Leafs both got one and two points respectively and ended Carolina's chances.

The Isles and the Bolts are the last contenders in the league.

[LondonChick62]

Let's Go Isles!

[El Canuck]

All four of the Pacific Division teams in the playoffs are in action tonight. Quite a bit of movement can take place before the dust settles tomorrow.

Pittsburgh and Columbus are playing for home ice advantage in their playoff berth.

Toronto, Ottawa and Boston are all looking to solidify their spots, while the Bolts and Isles are trying to stay in the race.

And Chicago are visiting Colorado.

[LondonChick62]

Pens kicking Blue Jacket butt everywhere tonight so far. Score is 3-0 in second period.

[LondonChick62]

Pens Win!

Final score 4-1 over the Blue Jackets.

[El Canuck]

Yep, Pens got it done alright.

The Bruins have clinched a playoff berth, looks like they're bound for the post season.

Isles are down 1-0 after two periods.

[El Canuck]

The Isles hang on to hope with a win over the Preds. Ottawa and Boston both winning sort of put an end to realistic expectations, but with so few games left, there's still a chance. If the Leafs and Bolts both lose their last few games and the Isles can win, they're in. It's a long shot, but it's all they got.

[LondonChick62]

Sharks score two goals within first 30 seconds of opening the game, a franchise record.

[El Canuck]

Oilers scored out of the gate too, 1-0 in their game against L.A.

[El Canuck]

THE NUGE scores! 2-0 now.

[El Canuck]

The Kings scored three times in the second and pulled ahead, but THE NUGE decided that wasn't happening on his watch and tied the game!

[LondonChick62]

Sharks retain their 2-0 lead over Vancouver end of second period.
