Scoreboard
New York Islanders 3, Ottawa 2 – The Islanders aren’t going away anytime soon. Well, relative to Long Island they are…. they‘re going to Brooklyn. But in a hockey sense, they will remain an entity.

Vancouver 4, Washington 3 – Hey, don’t worry, Washington, there was a time where you could only HOPE to be mediocre.

Pittsburgh 1, New Jersey – Evgeni Malkin with the only goal in what must have been a real thriller.

Carolina 2, Nashville 1 – This is a pretty sizeable upset, the ‘Canes over the Preds. Let’s talk about it for a — Hey, where are you going?

Buffalo 2, Tampa Bay 1 (SO) – Wow, Carolina AND Buffalowinning on the same day, next thing you’re going to tell me is that the Leafs won too. ASAS

Toronto 5, Dallas 3 – Whaaaaaaaat

Florida 4, Detroit 3 – The Panthers are circling a playoff spot, for some reason.

Calgary 5, Arizona 2 – The Flames seem dead set for the playoffs, even stranger.

San Jose 2, Philadelphia 1 – This is the gritty type of game that winners win. The Sharks came to play. They left it all out on the ice. Cliche.

Los Angeles 2, Boston 0 – These two teams play about 10 times a season, despite being in different conferences. Games are actually played in St. Louis to allay the travel.

Tweet of the Moment
