[Sports Illustrated: The Hockey News] - Canadiens: Last Chance Saloon

This is it—the last chance saloon for the Montreal Canadiens. They have had three opportunities to secure a playoff berth so far and failed each time. On Tuesday night, the Columbus Blue Jackets continued their splendid form, beating the Philadelphia Flyers in regulation to keep their slim hope of making the Spring dance alive. On Wednesday night on the Bell Centre ice, the Habs must secure a single point against the Carolina Hurricanes to return to the Stanley Cup playoffs.
