On the final day of the 2016-17 NHL regular season, the Ottawa Senators will visit the Barclays Center in Brooklyn to take on the New York Islanders.
After clinching home ice in the first round yesterday, the attention now turns to who will be Ottawa’s opponent. Should the Toronto Maple Leafs get at least a point today, the Battle of Ontario will be the matchup. It will be the Boston Bruins otherwise.
Yesterday was also a crucial day for the Islanders, who although defeated the New Jersey Devils 4-2, were eliminated from playoff contention due to the Leafs’ dramatic win in Pittsburgh.
