On Thursday we saw a critical Wild Card game between the Columbus Blue Jackets and Montreal Canadiens. Last night there was a similarly important version in the Western Conference featuring the Colorado Avalanche and Arizona Coyotes. In that one, the Avalanche earned a 3-2 shootout win against the Coyotes. Colorado already had the edge in the battle for the final Wild Card spot and now the Avalanche have a three-point lead against Arizona with four games left in each team's schedule. At least the Coyotes managed to claw their way into overtime with a pair of late third period goals scored by Ekman-Larsson, but the loss still greatly reduced their playoff hopes.

The Islanders scored three goals over the final 13 minutes, including two in the final two minutes, to storm back for a 5-4 win that moved them back into second place in the Metropolitan Division and has them one step closer to returning to the playoffs for the first time since the 2015-16 season. Jordan Eberle was the big hero for the Islanders on Thursday with a pair of third period goals, including the game-winner just 33 seconds after Casey Cizikas had tied the game. Continue to Article

Trailing Montreal by two points in the standings, the Columbus Blue Jackets desperately needed a win over the Canadiens to keep their playoff hopes alive. A disappointing start turned into a decisive victory that got them back on the right side of the Eastern Division wild-card line.
