According to Sportsnet's Mark Spector, the NHL is looking at a plan that could see the top six teams from each division meet for an intradivisional playoff. Such a plan would include the New York Islanders who are ranked sixth in the Metro, but not the New York Rangers who are ranked seventh in the Metro.
This plan would only occur if the NHL can't finish the regular season and would have to go right into a playoff format.
But any plan that includes the Isles and not the Rangers (who are just one point out in this scenario) is hilarious.
