There's a little more clarity.
The Islanders are almost surely going to be the 4th seed after last night's results. Boston would need to lose their next 3 in regulation and the Islanders would need to win their next 2 games in order for NYI to get the third seed. Moneypuck has NYI at 98.5% as the #4 seed.
Here is the entire Moneypuck odds for where each team will finish (updated this morning):
I'll post the Hockeyviz odds when they are up at 1:00 PM today.[TBODY] [/TBODY]
1st 2nd 3rd 4th WSH 57.9% 24.4% 17.7% 0% PIT 29.6% 60.5% 10.0% 0% BOS 12.6% 15.1% 70.8% 1.5% NYI 0% 0% 1.5% 98.5%
It is certainly doable for NYI to climb back up to 3rd though. Looking at Boston's sched:
Boston
5/8 NY Rangers
5/10 NY Islanders
5/11 @ Washington
Rangers game tomorrow - depends on if the Rangers actually want to win a game for once
Islander - face each other
Washington - could be a tough game... could also be not
Islanders just have the Devils - easily doable
Bruins - face each other
