The Race Is On: Slow Night
Very light night for the hockey last night as there were four games and two of them were any concern to us really.
Over in Vegas, the Knights dropped a rare home loss to the Arizona Coyotes by a 3-2 score. The loss keeps Vegas one point behind the Jets for second place in the west with Winnipeg now having a game in hand over them.
The Colorado Avalanche’s playoff hopes took a bit of a hit as they dropped a 2-1 game at home to the Philadelphia Flyers. The loss keeps them outside of playoff position for right now.
It’s going to be a much busier night tonight as the Jets, Wild, Predators, Blues and Stars all have games.
The Magic Numbers
