Another week, and another update, as the Bruins still don’t have a playoff opponent locked in...yet.
The Current Wildcard: New York Islanders (83 points, 6-3-1 in their last ten games), Pittsburgh Penguins (82 points, 4-5-1 in their last ten games)
Things are heating up as the number of points one can feasibly gain begin shrinking, and both squads are peeling out towards the finish line nearly parallel to each other with their engines rapidly deteriorating.
New York had an extremely weird week: dropping a touchdown and extra point on Toronto, and then following that up with a shootout loss to Columbus, and a shutout loss to Buffalo, with New Jersey on the docket for tonight.
