New York at Washington

The New York Islanders are in second place, just behind Washington, and need to win as a loss opens the door for Pittsburgh to get home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs. "We still have something to play for," Coach Barry Trotz said. New York is tops in the NHL in goals allowed and 9-4 as a road underdog. The Islanders are also 17-7 after scoring two goals or less in their previous game. Washington has nothing to play for, clinching its fourth consecutive division title on Thursday. The road team has won all three meetings between these teams this season, so back the team that still has plenty to play for. Play the New York Islanders.
