Inside today's Locked on Canadiens:

The Montreal Canadiens finally won a game! Sure they shouldn't have because of the ongoing tank but, at the same time it's a feel-good win for a Canadiens team that hasn't had many. Jeff Petry and Mike Hoffman combined for three goals en route to a 4-3 win in New York, and it was a poor result for draft purposes, until it suddenly wasn't.

Montreal has clinched last place in the NHL, thanks in part to the Arizona Coyotes pulling off a stunning comeback against the Dallas Stars. So Montreal now has the best overall odds to pick first overall, how does this change the team outlook for Friday's game against Florida and for the off-season? Now another question rises, does a strong end to the year create a stronger trade market for players like Petry and Hoffman heading into the off-season? On the other hand, is there a way to keep Petry going into the rebuild as the defender has looked a lot better under Martin St. Louis.

Also, the Western Conference got another shock as well as the Vegas Golden Knights were eliminated from postseason contention by the Dallas Stars making it to overtime against Arizona. Scott and Laura take a look at what this means for their franchise, and how the notion of going for it every single year can lead to a rough situation when it all goes wrong. Vegas now faces a long summer where they're forced to deal with an upset starting goaltender, still being over the cap, and not having a stocked cupboard of prospects to fall back on as well.
