The Capitals’ win over the Rangers last night dropped the Islanders from third in the Metro to a wild card spot. So a win tonight against the Bruins would be... beneficial.
FIG picks go here. Johnny Boychuk is out. Dennis Seidenberg is in, as is Jaroslav Halak. Scott Mayfield sits. Yes, really. Just win the damn game.
Islanders readings
- The Islanders’ penalty kill stinks on hot ice these days, so they spent their practice time in Boston working things out.
