Islanders News: Horvat, Holmstrom, Dobson, and Sorokin keep the Isles in the race

Here we are, folks. Happy Easter.

On Easter Sunday, the last weekend of the regular season, the New York Islanders sit in a playoff spot when they wake up this morning, having been temporarily dislodged from it by the NHL schedule-makers.

The Pittsburgh Penguins won their game in regulation in the afternoon, and the Florida Panthers won their game in regulation at night (on the softest goal you’ve ever seen, giveaway and horrendous goal against courtesy of Charlie Lindgren), meaning the day ended with the Islanders and Panthers tied yet again, now at 91 points, and the Pens one point behind them.
