Everything will be decided tonight, but for now, the Canadiens keep their valuable ticket!
« Despite the point earned [last night], the Habs retain the 5th best lottery ticket for the draft since the tiebreaker favors the Coyotes. A regulation loss [tonight] would confirm the 5th best ticket + a guaranteed top 7 pick for the Canadiens! » - Marc-Olivier Beaudoin
We'll be watching this tonight, but things are looking good!
Note that the Arizona Coyotes will face the Edmonton Oilers tomorrow night to finish their season.
As for the Ottawa Senators, they finish their season tonight against the Boston Bruins.
