Tampa Bay Lightning clinch playoff spot

During their night off, the Tampa Bay Lightning sat on their couches and watched the Montreal Canadiens lose 8-2 to the Anaheim Ducks, a result that clinched a playoff berth for the team 15 points clear of the next closest team in the league.

Even if the Bolts decided to ice their ECHL team (though, I hear the goalie is pretty good) and lose every single night from now until the last day of the season, the team would still sit one point ahead of the Canadiens for the final divisional playoff spot in the Atlantic.
