The end of the regular season brings the yearly tradition of out-of-town scoreboard watching. This season, Vancouver Canucks fans will be keeping a careful on what happens around the league, especially when it comes to the St. Louis Blues. Tuesday will be no different as Canucks fans will shed their blue and green for red and blue as they will be hoping the Montréal Canadiens can do them a massive favour.

At 5 pm PT, the Canadiens will take the ice at the Enterprise Center to face the Blues. Both teams are currently involved in playoff races, with each occupying the final Wild Card spot. While a win either way wouldn't clinch a berth in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs, it would ensure that each team remains above the playoff bar, at least for the night.
As mentioned, this game has a significant impact on Vancouver's playoff hopes. According to MoneyPuck.com, if St. Louis wins in regulation, their playoff percentage jumps to 62.6%. If they lose regulation, the Blues would drop to 40.6%, which would be good news for the Canucks who currently sit three points behind St. Louis.
St. Louis versus Montréal is not the only game fans in Vancouver need to watch. At 6:00 pm PT, the Calgary Flames will take on the Seattle Kraken from the Scotiabank Saddledome. A regulation win by Calgary would see their playoff odds jump to 37%, while a regulation loss would drop them to 20.7%.
Almost every night between now and the end of the 2024-25 season will be tense for Canucks fans. Not only does Vancouver need to go on a long winning streak, but fans also need to hope for long losing streaks from the Blues, the Flames, and the Utah Hockey Club. With the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs less than a month away, all four teams will be under pressure on a nightly basis, with the smallest slip-up potentially being the difference between securing a playoff berth and entering the off-season early.
