Two more Canadian teams are on the brink of clinching spots in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
The Montreal Canadiens can grab the final spot in the Eastern Conference with a regulation win over the Ottawa Senators on Friday night (7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. MT on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+).
The Edmonton Oilers can also clinch a spot if they get at least one point against the San Jose Sharks Friday (9:30 p.m. ET/7:30 p.m. MT on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+) or if the rival Calgary Flames lose to the Minnesota Wild (10 p.m. ET/8 p.m. MT on Sportsnet West and Sportsnet+) in any fashion.
Additionally, the Wild will clinch a spot with a win over the Flames in any fashion.
If the Canadiens secure a spot, it would be an impressive turnaround after missing the playoffs for the last four years. The team has been led by career seasons from Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield and rookie Lane Hutson and has won six games in a row heading into Friday’s big game with the Senators.
