Tonight, the New York Islanders play game no. 56 out of 56 on the schedule against the Boston Bruins. This game was originally scheduled for March 23 but had to be moved to the end of the season due to the Bruins’ COVID-19 pause.
This will not be the final game of the regular season for the Bruins; they play again tomorrow night. They will be on the road to visit the Washington Capitals in a potential first-round preview—in fact, they may end up just staying down there until the postseason begins.
