The regular season ends and the playoffs begin with a bang. That’s a lot for just two games.
First, let’s look back at the (heart-pumping) week that was.
Game 56: 3-2 OT loss to the Bruins
This game already feels like it was played six months ago. It’s pretty irrelevant at this point but it was nice to see the Islanders look like themselves... for two periods at least. The overtime beauty by who else - Taylor Hall - still stings but by that point, the standings had already been set.
Props to Barry Trotz for at least trying to get the regulation win by pulling Sorokin in a tie game with about two minutes to go.
