The Sens are hanging tight behind Montreal, and with two games in hand, could pass them to overtake the division lead. Sens-Montreal have three head to head meetings left, which might just tell the tale. So, Ottawa more or less controls their fate, make up the two games in hand with wins, and they are in the driver's seat.

Ottawa's goal diff +6 suggests a mediocre team, but Montreal's isn't really that much better when you look at Minnesota or Washington. 104 points takes the division?
