The New York Islanders tonight host the Philadelphia Flyers with a chance to further cement their playoff chances. If they win, they drop their magic number to three (3), notwithstanding other results; it can go as low as one (1!) if both the Pittsburgh Penguins lose in regulation to the Detroit Red Wings and the Buffalo Sabres lose in any way to the Carolina Hurricanes. Luckily, both of those games are early today, so we’ll have an even better idea of what’s at stake by the time our game starts.
