The NHL's stretch run is winding down and we're beginning to have a better idea of which teams will still be alive for the first round. We know now, for example, that the Toronto Maple Leafs almost certainly won't make it, and that the Detroit Red Wings very probably will. That particular hockey night [...]
The Leafs dropped another decision and are quickly falling out of the playoff race.

The Rangers escaped with a win in Rick Nash's return to Columbus on Friday, but Nash didn't seem to be in a festive mood.
