I don’t think the Islanders are as good as the rest of the wild card contenders, so if they can steal points from PIT, I think that is a good thing. Even though they won last night they were outplayed badly for 50 minutes (the last 10 minutes were even).
I think it’s going to come down to BUF, PIT, and FLA for the final two spots personally. Islanders rely on getting bailed out by goaltending, Detroit has been on an unsustainable streak and Washington seems to be trending in a bad direction and has injuries. Ottawa has dug themselves too deep a hole.
