The Columbus Blue Jackets have done the impossible — they’ve battled back and now have a real chance at making the playoffs. 

Over the last week, they’ve avoided elimination with some strong wins, along with help from the Ottawa Senators, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Chicago Blackhawks, who all beat the Canadiens in their last three games.

If the Blue Jackets can beat the Philadelphia Flyers tonight, they’ll move to just one point behind the Canadiens.

The Canadiens play the Carolina Hurricanes tomorrow night. If they win, the Blue Jackets will officially be eliminated. However, if they lose, it sets up a chance for Columbus to jump them in the standings — if they can win their final game on Thursday against the New York Islanders.

It all starts with a win tonight. Failure to do so means the end of their unbelievable push for the postseason. All eyes will be on the game tonight against the Flyers.
