This Forsberg fella'.....

Three assist the day before yesterday. And last night: Another three assist. The Swedish magician has clearly warmed up now. Since his comeback in February, he has got nine points in seven games. But no goals. Yet. As stated before, Peter Forsberg will be a major asset for the Avs in the playoffs.

Canucks lost a vital game last night, being blanked in the 4-0 demolishion away against the Wild. Sure, the Wild is one of the best teams in the league right now, but that was a sorry blow for the Canucks playoff chances. They're now outside the playoffs since Nashville won their match, beating the Blue Jackets 2-0. The Flyers lost an important match against the Devils after Shootout. So they got one point at least, and are now three points clear of the first team outside the playoffs (the Caps).

Besides that, there was nothing that really had an impact on the playoffs spots last night. The Blues beat the Red Wings away after OT, 4-3. Henrik Zetterberg had a decent night, getting three assists for the Wings.
The Sharks beat the Stanley Cup Champions, the Ducks, also away, 3-1.
And Carolina destroyed a sorry Atlanta team by beating them, 7-1. The Hurricanes are warming up to the playoffs and might be a contender.

This year, it is tougher than ever to predict anything, especially a Stanley Cup Champion. The team are so evenly matched and many teams made impressive aquisitions at the deadline magic. Amongst them were the Hurricanes, who got defender Joe Corvo (1+1 last night) from Ottawa.

It's almost time.......4 games left.
