The Ivan Demidov era opened in Montreal Monday and it did not disappoint. Unfortunately, for the Canadiens, they were unable to sustain the early energy and, while getting closer to wrapping up the final playoff berth in the East, they failed to clinch thus providing a window of hope for Columbus.

Out West, the Kings will open the playoffs hosting the Oilers and the chirping has already begun.

Also, will Jamie Benn ever get his 400th career goal and an abbreviated NY Centric wrap on the New-York area teams.
