Will The Habs Clinch A Playoff Spot Tonight? Or Will They Leave It To Fate?

The Montreal  Canadians need one point to clinch the wild card 2 spot.

With the Columbus Blue Jackets are fast approaching the Habs, it puts lots of added pressure on the Habs to preform against tonight against the Carolina Hurricanes.

Montreal, who’s 6-2-2 in there last 10, have lost 3 games in a row now, 2 of which coming after regulation.

Carolina who’s 4-5-1 in there last 10. Sitting locked in on the 2 seed in the metro division, you could possibly see some top players scratched against Montreal tonight, resting them for a playoff run.

Montreal came out strong in the first Monday night against the Chicago Blackhawks, they need a similar start tonight if they want success against Carolina.

Ivan Demidov will play a key factor Montreal tonight, as you could see Monday night he was a monster. Still struggling to find his fit a little bit on the team but he’s going above and beyond right now, minus a few easly fixable mistakes , he has the potential to be even more impactful tonight against Carolina.

I think Montreal will clinch tonight. Carolina is gonna sit a couple guys and Montreal is playing the best players they have as much as they can tonight, they will be throwing the kitchen sink at the Hurricanes, as they need these points.

If the Montreal Canadians lose in regulation tonight, the need Columbus to lose against the New York Islanders tomorrow night.

Update tomorrow.
