MONTREAL CANADIENS – FLORIDA PANTHERS
5:3 (1:2, 2:0, 2:1)
Panthers poor form continues
The conclusion of the meeting between Montreal and Florida was marked by a number of fights and expulsions, several personal penalties were handed out, and overall there was quite a spark on the ice. But even the inconveniences in the end did not take away the joy of the home team from the victory. Montreal won 5-3 and extends the fumble of Florida, which still cannot get into shape as the end of the regular season approaches.

CALGARY FLAMES – ANAHEIM DUCKS
3:5 (0:1, 2:1, 1:3)
Calgary failed
Today’s 3-5 defeat against Anaheim basically extinguished all hopes of Calgary that it could fight for a miracle. Sure, mathematically there’s still a science fiction theory that they could finish eighth in the Western Conference, but that’s really just a crazy theory. By the end of the regular season, they will play only eight games and lose 14 points to Los Angeles in the second wild card position.
