Boston rips it back in 20 minutes
Down 3-0. On the road. Getting run out of the building.
Then it all flipped.
The Boston Bruins pulled off one of the season’s biggest comebacks against the Columbus Blue Jackets, winning 4-3 in a shootout. The third period was bonkers, with Pavel Zacha and Viktor Arvidsson each having a hand in three goals.
The turning point was the equalizer with 11 seconds left on the clock. That is the kind of sucker punch teams just don’t recover from.
Columbus thought they had done the hard part. Boston reminded them that nothing is over until the final buzzer.
Tampa Bay: quiet and in charge
While some teams implode, others just keep rolling.
The Tampa Bay Lightning picked up another win over the Nashville Predators, 3-2, with one man everywhere you looked: Jake Guentzel.
One goal, two assists. He had a hand in everything.
Best of all, this is a team heating up at the right time, even without Nikita Kucherov.
The result lifts Tampa back to the top of the East.
Montreal keeps believing
Something is brewing with the Montreal Canadiens.
Five straight wins. Growing confidence. And a leader stepping up.
Nick Suzuki shone with two goals and an assist in a solid 3-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes.
This is no longer a fluke.
This is a team that hangs around, and it is starting to scare people.
Flyers cling to life
In a playoff race, every point counts. So does every overtime.
The Philadelphia Flyers know it, and they are still hanging on.
Against the Dallas Stars, Trevor Zegras played hero in overtime to win it 2-1.
A cold-blooded finish. Two points that keep Philadelphia alive in a wild race.
New York wins with nothing on the line
The New York Rangers are eliminated. They are still playing, though.
And they are still winning.
A 3-1 victory over the Florida Panthers, with Igor Shesterkin steady in net on 27 saves.
A win for pride, and a heavy blow for Florida, now pushed further from a playoff spot.
New Jersey stage a comeback in a wild finish
This was the kind of game that sums up a whole season.
The New Jersey Devils trailed twice. At times they looked outclassed.
Then they turned the whole thing around.
Final score: 5-3 over the Chicago Blackhawks, with Jack Hughes at the center of it all. Two goals, two assists, and a finish his team controlled.
Chicago had the game in hand. New Jersey ripped it away.
A night that summed up playoff-race madness
Unlikely comebacks. Overtime winners. Some playoff runs stretching on, others ending.
This night had everything.
Above all, nothing is set in stone.
With weeks to go before the playoffs, every game is a turning point. Every mistake gets punished. Every big play counts double.
In all that organized chaos, some teams are gathering momentum.
Others are falling away.
One thing is certain: the stretch run is going to be suffocating.
