For New York Numbers Don't Lie

Starting with good news, Columbus off radar. Either NY or Caps win division. Bad news is Florida has been red-hot, they always go down there & it's a high-scoring game with high shots against, it's going to take something special to win there vs Luongo. If NY wins/desperate Habs beat Caps in regulation, NY plays for division on Sat or clinch second seed/home ice. Lose to Florida, it's 2-3-4 seed. Expect Carolina to beat Devils & Flyers, Canes would win ROW.

Goal differential between NY, Caps, Pens has NY a few behind or difference in one win, too close. Personally, Canes have been best team for a while, head to head could be the toughest NYI match-up whether that be as a 1-2-3-4 seed.
