NHL sneak peek after all

Thanks to MLB, the NHL preview is back, and hopefully through April 15, which includes the first few days of the playoffs. This reversal is best explained here.

The news is really good to hear because the last spot in the East could come down to Montreal and Toronto. And the Canadiens are in Toronto tonight for the last regular season game of the year. If the Habs win, they are in as the 8 seed. If Toronto wins, they have to hope for a New York Islanders loss.

In the long storied history of both of these Original 6 franchises, they never have met in the season's final game with a playoff berth on the line for both.

So as part of the CBC tripleheader, Montreal and Toronto battle in the East (Game 2), Vancouver looks to clinch the division title against San Jose (Game 1), and Calgary tries to nail down the 8th seed (Game 3).

Playoffs start April 11, and Canadian Corner will help you keep track of all the Canadian teams.
