Leafs can clinch a playoff spot tonight, but need some help

In order for the Leafs to clinch a playoff spot they'll need to win, but they'll also need the Ottawa Senators to defeat the Vancouver Canucks in regulation. OR.. failing that they'll need to defeat the Canadiens in overtime and have the Sens defeat the Canucks in regulation and they'll need the Edmonton Oilers and Winnipeg Jets game to end in regulation.

Here's a strategy: Just win, baby. The rest will take care of itself.
