Wow. Solid game against a division rival and a good road win with the back-up goalie playing well.
Playoff chances took another big leap upward to just under flip-a-coin odds. Still bottom of the division, but hold anywhere from 1 to 3 games in hand on everyone between us and a wild card slot that is only now 4 points away.
And although 3rd in the division Columbus was not directly in our sights, with 0 points due to the regulation loss, they are now also just 4 points away with 3 games in hand on them.
Winning, especially in regulation, cures a lot. Now onto Chicago who is struggling at 0.500 themselves with 16 points after 16 games with a two-game losing streak. And we now have 15 points after 14 games and a two-game winning streak.
Go get 'em Scottie.
