The last 3 games are at the end of the schedule in which the Leafs may have clinched the playoffs, the Leafs may rest some players for those games.
I would hope the Maple Leafs have clinched a playoff spot well before the final 3 games of the season.
Their magic number is 4? or 5?.

Trying to stay in a Happy Place
Last season, the Habs would not qualify for the playoffs but given the pandemic, they were gifted a play-in round and beat the Pens.

The Habs still have 4 games vs the Leafs. The last 3 games are at the end of the schedule in which the Leafs may have clinched the playoffs, the Leafs may rest some players for those games.
As a Habs fan that is what I am hoping - but the Leafs may put the Zamboni driver in goal and with Montreal's problems in scoring goals lately he will probably get a shut out every game!!

The Habs would have to take out both Leaf goalies for the Zamboni driver to come in, so don't run our goalies.

Do you think that the current edition of the Leafs has enough sense of history and tradition to be motivated enough to do that?
The Current Leafs see 2 pts on the table up for grabs, doesn't matter the team. Besides, the Leafs should make the Habs earn it. In past seasons the Habs won't do any favors for the Leafs.

Big win by the Habs.
Obviously not a lock to hang on to fourth place but a little more breathing room.
91.9% to make the playoffs as of today.

Don't be so quick to make that assumption, the NHL playoffs are a whole different beast, it's like March Madness in College hoops, upsets happen.

Right winger Jonathan Drouin has taken an indefinite leave of absence for personal reasons, from the Canadiens.
He has missed three games already.
