The Lightning beat the Bruins, so Montreal will need a win tonight to stay ahead and keep home ice advantage in the playoffs. With Caufield's 50th out of the way, things should be back to normal, no forced plays to try to get him a goal.

Gains steam after tonight

CBJ @ CAR 7Pm Eastern

The Hurricanes won 5-2 against the Blue Jackets earlier this week. They will want to do the same tonight. Nikolaj Ehlers scored 1 goal and had 2 assists. He is now at 64 points for the season, tying 2016-17 for his most points in a single campaign and marking the first time he has reached 40 assists. The Canes will count on his offensive support once more. Columbus has lost a little bit of the wind in their sail after some key losses, but that doesn't mean they wont come prepared.
