Four systems has still playoff spots open.

IIHF system has the winner of Islanders/Penguins game advancing. Penguins gets Metro #3 with regulation win, any other result will have Capitals in that spot.

No shootout, OTL 1 point has Penguins needing the win to push Red Wings out of final playoff spot.

No overtime has Islanders needing the win while Penguins advancing with a tie.

Wins/Losses has the game open between Blues and Kings. If one of them wins and other loses, the winner advances. If their results are the same, Kings advances.

The final table is in. Islanders beat Penguins in regulation, therefore Penguins got eliminated in every system, with Islanders taking two and Red Wings one playoff spot in open races.

Blues failed to win their final game so Kings is in.
