The New York Islanders have returned from California to continue their wild card quest by hosting the Toranna Mape-uh Liefs, who have lots of good Ontario boys who you know would like nothing better than to win a playoff round for Barrett, Gord and Connor watching back home.
Although the Islanders will hopefully be tending to their own damned business, those of us who obsess over their fortunes and lineup choices will also be scoreboard watching, because the sands in the wild card race continue to shift.
Last night, the Penguins lost their fourth straight, while the Panthers won their third straight and earned points in their seventh consecutive game.
