There is only one game in the NHL tonight, and it’s Boston facing off against Florida at 7:30 p.m. Florida were eliminated from the playoffs yesterday, and have the dubious distinction of finishing in the highest place in the standings while still out of the playoffs. They will have the worst lottery odds for the draft.
Boston took care of their own business on Saturday, beating the Ottawa Senators 5-2. The Tampa Bay Lightning, who had their fate in their own hands, could only lose in overtime to the Carolina Hurricanes. The New Jersey Devils ended up in the last wild card spot in the east.
