The Columbus Blue Jackets look to keep their slim playoff chances alive when they travel to take on the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday. <\/p>\n
The Montreal Canadiens look for their third straight win when they host the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday night. The Canadiens have already won 10 of their last 11 games and clinched a playoff spot. Now Montreal is going for the top spot in the Atlantic Division standings. That position is currently held by the feel-good story of the season in the Buffalo Sabres. Montreal doesn\u2019t have time for a good story, as it is only two points back of Buffalo with 104 points and three games left in the regular season. Columbus comes into this matchup with 90 points and is in a win-now or go-home mode for the rest of the season. The Blue Jackets are four points back of the Ottawa Senators, who hold the second and final Wild Card spot in the East. Both the Detroit Red Wings and New York Islanders are ahead of Columbus in the playoff standings. It is not helping the Blue Jackets\u2019 cause that they\u2019ve lost seven of their last eight games. This season series is tied 1-1 heading into this Game 3 finale, after Montreal tied it up with a 2-1 victory on March 26 at home. Zack Bolduc scored the go-ahead goal in the third period for Montreal\u2019s third straight win. It was Bolduc\u2019s first goal since Dec. 25, and Jakub Dobes was strong in net, earning the second star with 25 saves. The only Columbus player to get past him was Damon Severson. The first two games of this series were decided by one goal, so expect another one tonight with Montreal holding a -142 line to earn the series victory at home tonight.<\/p>\n
