The New York Islanders Solidify Their Playoff Sport

03/30/2023 at 6:15am EDT

from Ethan Sears of the New York Post,

With each passing game, the playoffs are looking more and more like an inevitability for the Islanders.

After Kyle Palmieri’s shootout goal propelled the Isles to a 2-1 win over the Capitals on Wednesday, the Isles have two more points on the board, just seven games left and a six-point lead to work with.

That is a math problem that is becoming just about impossible for the Panthers — the first team below the cutline — to solve, even with their win over Toronto on Wednesday.

And the Isles look to have the upper hand over the Penguins as well, with Pittsburgh needing to make up five points with two games in hand to catch them for the first wild-card spot.
