Out of the eight National Hockey League (NHL) Stanley Cup Qualifiers playoff series, only one best out of five series has gone to a Game 5. That Game 5 will be played tonight between the #8 seed Toronto Maple Leafs against the #9 seed Columbus Blue Jackets in the Eastern Conference bubble in Toronto.
The series has become very interesting because of the last two games that they played against each other. In Game 3, Toronto was up 3-0, but lost 4-3 in overtime to the Blue Jackets. In Game 4, the roles were reversed with Columbus up 3-0, but they lost 4-3 in overtime to the Maple Leafs.
In this series, it looks like both teams do not want to win. Tune in at 6 PM EST on NBC Sports to see which team will choke.

Columbus advances to the Eastern Conference quarterfinals with a 3-0 victory over Toronto.
The Blue Jackets are still up 1-0 at the second intermission.
Columbus is up 1-0 after the first intermission.
i used to work in Columbus Ohio (twice over the course of 10 years) so I gotta go with my boys! I actually worked right next to their arena the last time i was in Columbus.
There is a whole bunch of interview material this season with Tortorella being their coach. He was all smug after Game 3, but he was barely answering questions after Game 4. It’s sort of surprising that Columbus made the playoffs because they dump salaries every season.
yeah but loyalty having watched a game or five at their home ice have to root for them
I understand. The players do not act like the coach, so I am going with the Blue Jackets as well.
it is a difficult choice, but loyalty is important.
Your loyalty has paid off as Columbus won 3-0
there you go – it was an undefeated pick weekend!
