The Pens scored their 40th win of the season tonight, 6-3 over the Montreal Canadiens. Sidney Crosby and Erik Christensen each had two goals, with Gary Roberts and Michel Ouellet chipping in one each, all even-strength goals. The Pens gave up 3 PP goals to Montreal, the only stain on an otherwise good night.
The win, combined with Toronto's 5-1 loss to Washington, reduces the Pens magic number to clinch a playoff spot to 10 points with 11 games remaining. They again leapfrog Ottawa for the 4th spot in the east (Ottawa won on Thursday), and are again just four points behind the Devils, even in games. (The Devils also won last night, over Carolina) Their magic number to clinch 5th seed or better is 13 on the loss by Tampa.
