As he stood at the podium on Thursday with the Ottawa Senators’ bye week over, general manager Pierre Dorion said he still had hope for the playoffs. In looking at the last four seasons and the point totals of the teams that grabbed the final spot in the East, Ottawa would need 57 points in their final 39 games to hit that number of 95 points. Dorion noted they would have to go 28-11-1, 27-10-3, 26-9-5 or 25-8-7 to have a shot. Continue to Article

There were some amazing offensive performances on Tuesday, but Tyler Johnson’s hat trick stands out among them, in no small part thanks to his amazing third goal where he beat out Carolina’s Noah Hanifin in a race to the puck and then outmaneuvered Cam Ward at the crease. Believe it or not, that’s the Lightning’s first hat trick of the season, which is remarkable when you consider how good Nikita Kucherov and Steven Stamkos have been this season. Johnson’s goal also highlights the Lightning’s superb offensive depth this season as he has 16 goals and 34 points in 42 contests, but ranks just fifth on the team’s scoring race. He’s also one of seven Tampa Bay players with at least 30 points through 43 games. Contrast that with Tampa Bay’s opponent last night, Carolina, which has two players with at least 30 points and the Hurricanes’ points leader is Teuvo Teravainen with 11 goals and 35 points in 42 contests.
