Celebrini’s Charge as West Race Tightens. Oilers Peaking, Sens Stumble. Plus, Habs, Leafs, Ask R&D

Macklin Celebrini's four-point night has dragged the San Jose Sharks back into the playoff picture as they now sit just one point out. It's basically a 5-team race for the final wildcard berth in the west and while the Winnipeg Jets are now two points back and surging, the Nashville Predators seem to be fading, and all the teams involved continue to root against overtime in head-to-head matchups. Meanwhile, the Edmonton Oilers seem to be peaking at the perfect time despite Leon Draisaitl's absence due to injury, with a potential division title still in play and his expected early playoff return looming large. The Ottawa Senators' goaltending remains a concern after Linus Ullmark's missed starts and shaky outings, raising offseason questions despite the stability his signing was expected to bring. The Montreal Canadiens are red-hot with six straight wins, strong goaltending, and breakout performances from Cole Caufield (47 goals) and Juraj Slafkovsky, signalling a promising trajectory for the club. In Toronto, the GM search is underway following Brad Treliving's firing, with major roster decisions potentially hinging on Auston Matthews' long-term intentions amid a thin prospect pool and limited short-term help available. In Ask Ray & Dregs Anything; stick stomping, can the Sabres go all the way and how hard is it to remove the "colourful metaphors" from your vocabulary when transitioning to broadcasting?
