The New York Islanders are on the cusp on qualifying for the Stanley Cup playoffs.
The Isles have collected 87 points in their first 76 games and entered Thursday five points ahead of the Pittsburgh Penguins and six points up on the Florida Panthers in the three-team race for the two wild-card spots in the Eastern Conference.. With six games to go, that number has been slashed to -1100.
Teams such as Washington, Detroit, Buffalo, Ottawa, Pittsburgh, and Florida all had chances to run away with a playoff spot had they strung together a meaningful hot streak, but none could find a way to get their game together.
But even with that uncertainty ahead of them, there are some emerging signals that the Islanders could be a live long shot if they get into the tournament.The most obvious reason that the Islanders have a chance to make some noise in the playoffs is that they have one of, if not the best, goaltenders in the NHL this season.
