Sabres 4 Islanders 0 - Sabres setting up a heartbreaking finish for their fans? They outshot the Isles 37-21. Best result for Detroit. Isles don't gain ground. Sabres do, but they're still 3 back.
Yotes 4 Detroit 1 - That's pretty shameful, honestly.
Penguins 6 Sharks 3 - Penguins have a bit of hope. Not much.
Lightning 6 Rangers 3 - Bolts win a big one.
Devils 6 Stars 2 - Slim hopes alive for Devils with a road win.

I’m not super interested in getting swept by the Panthers. I have a bunch of buddies that are Sabres fans and they’ve been suffering longer than us. I wouldn’t mind finishing 16th, winning the lottery and jumping up 10 spots in the draft at all.DelHowLich wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2024 8:17 amLet's end their late season surge!

Somehow Washington is now in the playoffs,
Metro
3. Flyers 68 games 76 points
-
Wildcard
1. Tampa 67 games 78 points
2. Washington 67 games 75 points
--
3. Detroit 68 games 74 points
4. Islanders 67 games 73 points.
5. Buffalo 69 games 71 points (assuming they win their game up 5-2)
6, Penguins 67 games 69 points
7. Devils 68 games 68 points
This is the first time I've considered Washington.
That Washington is involved tells you just how mushy this conference is.
Washington has a pretty tough schedule to finish.
Here's Detroit's
vs Columbus - Last cake game until the end of the season
@ Nash - playoff team
@ Wash - hunt for playoffs
@ Caro - playoff team
@ Fla - playoff team
@ Tampa - playoff team
vs NYR - playoff team
vs Buffalo - maybe still a playoff team at this point
vs Wash - Could still be a playoff team that this point
@ Pitts - Chance still a playoff team
@ Tor - might be resting guys
vs Montreal - Way out
@ Montreal - Way out
13 points. Assuming they snap out of this.
87 points
Philly has a murder schedule right now. But they finish easy.
I see them getting 12-13 points.
88-89 points
I only see Washington getting only 8-9 points.
83-84
Realistically, Buffalo gets 12-13 points. 83-84 points. They need to run the table on a five-game homestand. But the Sabres have a history of choking as soon as a game means something.
Islanders - Islanders could be 13-14 points. 86-87 points
Penguins get around 12 points for 81.
The Devils seem to have a good schedule. 14-15 points.
83 points
Tampa gets 19 points for 97,
So:
Metro:
3. Flyers 89 - hold on to the last division spot
.
Wildcard
1. Tampa 97
2, Detroit 87
-
3. Islanders 86-87
4. Washington 83-84
5. Buffalo 83-84
6.NJ - 83 points
7. Pittsburgh 81 points.
This is based on Detroit not being a dumpster fire - winning the games they should win. Especially at home. Getting at least loser points on the road.
But some team is gonna get hot and upend the apple cart.
