Steve Zipay at Blue Notes goes over the schedules of the teams fighting for the final playoff spots...If Devs, with 93 points, can generate any scoring, they have the best shot to finish in fourth, playing the Isles, Boston. Philly and the Rangers. Two home, two road.
Philly has to play Jersey once and Pittsburgh twice; very tough, although if Pens have clinched first place by next Sunday when they close the season with the Flyers, guys might rest.....
Boston's banged up and faces Devs, Sens and then the Sabres, who likely will have been eliminated.
Washington has three at home against Carolina, Florida and Tampa. Looks like four points in there, maybe five.
...not sure why Zipay left out the Senators. Here is their schedule; Montreal, Toronto and then Boston. I would say they are only assured 2 points, which could leave them out in the cold. That last game against the Bruins could be huge.
