However, the team has regressed to around a .500 club since that streak ended and the Blue Jackets now sit 3rd in the division, needing every point to ensure that top-3 finish.
The team has been wonderful both offensively and defensively, being the 5th best in the league in goals scored and the 3rd best in goals against. Columbus averages 3.29 goals per game while giving up just 2.42 per game.

Montreal Canadiens
Sitting atop the Atlantic Division, the Montreal Canadiens have been the best team in a weak conference, but haven’t thoroughly convinced the league that it can handle the kind of competition coming out of other divisions.

The offense is led by captain Max Pacioretty. Pacioretty has 29 goals and 24 assists on the year, including a goal and two assists in his last five games.
