Tonight, a team they blew a 4-1 lead against at New Jersey and lost 5-4. (one point would have clinched a spot) A second 5-4 overtime loss at the failed Belmont experiment, followed by Patrick Roy NYI outclassed with a 4-0 shutout. No Hughes, nothing to play for tonight but Devils final home game. New York will wear blue. Roy going back to Varlamov over the teams best goaltender.
The @NYIslanders have scenarios Monday to secure both a #StanleyCup Playoffs spot and the No. 3 seed in the Metropolitan Division. The simplest is to win their game against the Devils (7 p.m. ET on MSGSN, MSGSN2).#NHLStats: https://t.co/X2F5cuM56t pic.twitter.com/LjNIjoHaUB

Any kind of win=third seed. Carolina, Boston, Florida, Knicks hockey or see you at Barclay's in September are the menu.
