Despite a recent 4-3 shootout loss to the Chicago Blackhawks, which extended their home point streak to 11 games (9-0-2), the Canadiens remain in a favorable position. They currently hold the final wild-card position in the Eastern Conference with 89 points, maintaining a four-point lead over the Columbus Blue Jackets, who have two games remaining.<\/p><p>The Canadiens&rsquo; playoff chances are notably high, estimated at 97.4%.

This impressive late-season push has brought them to the brink of ending a three-year playoff drought. With one game left, Montreal&rsquo;s playoff hopes rest in their own hands and possibly in Columbus&rsquo;s too.  <\/p><p>Image Credit: David Kirouac-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assessing the Montreal Canadiens&#8217; postseason prospects as the regular season nears its end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":40524,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,4250],"tags":[163,52],"class_list":["post-40507","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nhl","category-nhl-predictions","tag-montreal-canadiens","tag-nhl"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Montreal Canadiens Playoff Chances- Do the Montreal Canadiens have a chance to qualify for the postseason? - The Playoffs<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Do the Montreal Canadiens still have a shot at the Stanley Cup Playoffs?
