Hey, wait a minute. Weren’t we just here last night? Yep, thanks to the NHL schedule makers, we have two home games on two consecutive nights. The visiting New York Islanders got into St. Louis yesterday from Vancouver just in time to watch the Blues play the Ducks (unless, of course, they decided to go across the river to the East Side or to the movies or something).
New York/Brooklyn occupies the eighth and last playoff slot in the East with 75 points, struggling to qualify for postseason play as the season winds down.
