Panthers can still earn home ice as Hurricanes march towards title

The Carolina Hurricanes picked up another point in a 2-1 overtime loss to the Chicago Blackhawks last night, continuing their inexorable march to the Discover Central Division title. Congratulations to Riley Stillman on his first NHL goal in that one.

Now with 80 points, the Hurricanes can clinch the crown by winning one of its final two games against Nashville, or by getting to overtime in both games.

The Tampa Bay Lightning can still win the division, although the odds of that happening according to Money Puck are a scant 3.
