Leafs can clinch a playoff spot on Monday with a win and a Detroit loss, even if Detroit gets a loser point. Or if the Leafs get a loser point and Detriot gets no points.
Are you saying for Leafs to miss the playoffs Detroit would need to win all 8 of their remaining games
AND
for Leafs to lose all but 1 of their remaining 9 games in regulation?
Ummmm, I suppose that could happen.
Detroit has a 3-5-2 record in their last 10 games and their last 4 games have been losses

The Leafs play Detroit on April 13 which could be an elimination game for Detroit. I think the Leafs will clinch this week.
The question really is can Detroit pass one of Washington or Philly. Not whether they'll catch the Leafs.
Even if by some divine miracle Detroit passes the Leafs both Caps and Flyers would also need to pass Leafs. TB also.
4 teams would need to pass them. Not just Detroit. If Leafs lose all their games they can still get loser points.
Wings/Flyers/Caps can win all of their remaining 24 games combined and Leafs lose all of their 9 games and Leafs can still make the playoffs.
The only thing Leafs are in control of now is whether they'll help Florida pass Boston and whether they'll help TB pass them for Leafs to have a chance to play the Metro Division in the 1st round. If Leafs beat Florida tonight it'll better their chance of playing them 1st round.

Goal differential:
Carolina 56
Florida 55
NYR 48

Caps, Flyers, Wings separated by 1 pt. 2 will make the playoffs and 1 will be gonzo.

Florida lost to Montreal tonight. They're setting themselves up to play the Leafs.
They play Ottawa next then Boston. Leafs 4 points behind with 2 games in hand.

In the Florida locker room they are chanting "We want Toronto, We want Toronto, We want Toronto!"
For the Leafs to move on, they've got to get through Florida, then Boston or Tampa.
