It wasn’t a great night on the scoreboard if you’re like me and still holding out hope that the New York Islanders can make the playoffs this season. It wasn’t a terrible night, but it could’ve been better.
The Philadelphia Flyers unfortunately won in regulation over the Tampa Bay Lightning. That game moved the magic number no matter who won, but Philly’s victory hurt the tragic number too (a Tampa regulation win would not have, thanks as always to them). At least it wasn’t a three-point game.
Also, the Vancouver Canucks couldn’t close out a two-goal lead and a one-goal third-period lead against the Pittsburgh Penguins, losing to them in OT.
