McKinnon had 1 point last night and Kucherov point lead remains 3: 141 to 138 over McKinnon. Kucherov has 2 games left and McKinnon only 1, so it looks like Kucherov has all but clinched the Art Ross Trophy for most points. This is something he really wanted, after the past few seasons. It will be his second Art Ross Trophy.
2023-24 NHL Season
- Thread starter Doc Holliday
- Start date
That's it, with a goal tonight Adam Fox has officially clinched a point per game for the first time in his career. 72 games, 72 points with his goal tonight. Fox ranks #9 on the all time list of points per game defenseman, with Bobby Orr #1 and the only defenseman, along with Paul Coffey and Cale Makar in NHL history to average over a point per game:

..and PANARIN so close of his 50th goal...anyway a dream/season with a concession/record.....impressive and IGOR closes the book with a bagel....la cerise sur le sundae....lollll......and now serious business is on the line.
McDavid is the 4th player in NHL history to have 100 assists in a season. The other 3 are Orr, Gretzky and Lemieux:

McDavid 4th player in NHL history with 100 assists
Edmonton star Connor McDavid, who returned to the lineup after missing three games because of a lower-body injury, notched his 100th assist of the regular season in the Oilers' convincing 9-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Monday night.
Happy for PATRICK ROY.....they clinched 3th place/Metro Division....il a été engagé pour sauver la saison/to make playoffs....mission accomplie....BRAVO....avec une équipe---disons-le---bien ordinaire.
If you are wondering who the #1 seed NY Rangers opponent will be in the playoffs, so is the rest of hockey, so here are the scenarios:
If Washington beats Philadelphia tonight in REGULATION (which is a win or go home game for both teams), then the Rangers will play the Capitols and Ovechkin. And unlike past years when the Rangers had nobody to retaliate when Tom Wilson harassed the Rangers players, they can now send Matt Rempe out after him.
If Washington loses, and Detroit wins against the Habs, the Rangers will play the Red Wings
If both Washington and Detroit lose, it comes down to Philadelphia and Pittsburgh tomorrow night. If Pittsburgh wins they are in, if they lose, Philadelphia is in.
Pretty simple. Now if you were also wondering who would the Canadiens be helping if they beat Detroit, the answer is possibly the Capitals, the Flyers, or the Penguins. So as a Habs fan you have to decide would you rather help Detroit, or one of the other 3.

It's over. The Capitals have defeated the Flyers 2-1 in regulation. Detroit, Philly, and Pittsburgh are all eliminated.
He has proven he knows how to coach hockey. The Islanders played much better under him.
Last chance tonight for MATTHEWS to reach his 70th goal...won't b easy vs TAMPA.....BUT he will do it....will watch.....
Denied by the Lightning and backup goalie Matt Tompkins, who otherwise played like a backup goalie. Meanwhile, Kucherov has finished his season with 144 points, and McKinnon needs a 6 point game tonight to tie Kucherov for the points championship and the Art Ross Trophy. It's doable- but not likely.
Yep....not MATTHEWS moment BUT KUCHEROV with also his 100th ass.....for 144 pts/total....quite impressive.
Here is ESPN's playoff predictions. They are predicting that the "hungrier" Caps will stun the Rangers in a game 7 first round upset!!! NOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Also picking the Maple Leafs to win the Stanley Cup!

Stanley Cup playoffs preview: Cup cases, flaws, bold predictions for all 16 postseason teams
Sixteen teams enter the NHL's thunderdome; only one will leave with the most glorious trophy in sports. Here's your guide to each club.
I'm picking a first round exit for the Leafs, also think the Oilers are happy to be playing LA instead of Vegas. Winnipeg will be very hard to beat.
I think the Leafs go out in Round 2, but I could see a first round exit as their defense, as in the past, is suspect.
On the other hand I think the Rangers will defeat Washington, and advance to the conference finals where they will play the Florida Panthers. One of these teams will advance to finals.
In the west I like Winnipeg and Colorado, or one of them to advance to the finals.
