The Montreal Canadiens (47-22-10) will face the Columbus Blue Jackets (39-18-2) on April 11, 2026, in their final home game of the season. The Canadiens have already secured their playoff berth, while the Blue Jackets are clinging to hope for a postseason spot, currently four points behind the Ottawa Senators for the last Wild Card position in the Eastern Conference. With only three games left, the Blue Jackets' playoff chances stand at 14%. The Canadiens are also motivated to win, as they aim to surpass the Buffalo Sabres for first place in the Atlantic Division.
