Yup he went from .923 to .926 to take the lead. Winnipeg has 1 game left but it's possible Hellebuyck doesn't start. If that holds he'll lead the league in save percentage two seasons in a row, albeit in much less games than other starters.

I still think we see him in game 1 if he's healthy. He looked a lot less effective prior to getting shut down but maybe a break like this is just what he needed. He's still one of the most physical players on the team and has more playoff goals than anyone else on the roster. Right or wrong...

Minnesota clinched a playoff spot by tying the game with 22 seconds left and securing at least a point. They put Fleury in net for overtime for what will probably be his last ever appearance and he wins it in overtime. Hockey can be very, very cool sometimes.

Massive injury updates:

Guess we'll see about game 82.

Friedman, Kypreos, and Johnston have all said now that they're hearing teams ending the season on Thursday won't be starting playoffs Saturday since it would only give them 1 day off. So expectation is Sunday but obviously not confirmed until it's confirmed.

Well they have 3 righties in the line-up right now so might make more sense to use lefties like Laughton or Lorentz.

This tweet prompted me to check in on how Brazeau's done since his trade to Minnesota. 17 games, 1 goal, 0 assists. Team worst 40.2% CF and team worst 38.1% xGF since the deadline. Now a healthy scratch. Too bad, was going to be a lot easier to cheer for the guy now that he wasn't a Bruin.

I think having basically zero repercussions to essentially going over the cap is going to lead to teams exploiting it too often. It would also eliminate a big reason teams carry 23 players on a roster which the PA would probably oppose. The Leafs chose to go through the post-deadline season with...

Would have really liked to have seen Laughton get this opportunity to play on L2 over Jarnkrok. I get that Laughton isn't exactly doing himself much favours but his usage has really been odd.

I get the rule in theory, the cap's the cap and teams that don't leave as much room for possible injuries as other teams shouldn't really just get off scot-free for that. Maybe there should be a provision though that if teams don't go the "play a man short" route they could instead take a cap...

Oof.
