The Pittsburgh Penguins Look To Get the Top Spot Against the New York Islanders

The Penguins have all but clinched the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference playoff race. But why stop there?

Thanks to the Penguins' 4-2 victory over New Jersey and Philadelphia's stunning 5-2 setback in Ottawa, the Penguins (102 points) are only one point behind the Flyers (103 points) for the Atlantic Division lead. Both teams have two games remaining, although the Penguins seem to have the easier schedule.

Both teams play the Islanders, but the Penguins finish the season in Atlanta. Philadelphia, meanwhile, must play against the red hot Sabres in Buffalo on Friday night.

Following the victory against New Jersey, many Penguins, and coach Dan Bylsma, expressed surprise that the Penguins still have a legitimate chance to win the division. They must beat Philadelphia outright. The Flyers own all the tiebreakers.

The Penguins were perfectly satisfied with their victory over the Devils. They never trailed in the contest and played fairly well against a team they frequently struggle against.

The Penguins are 6-1 in their last 7 when their opponent scores 2 goals or less in their previous game, 48-18 in their last 66 games playing on 2 days’ rest, and 6-2 in their last eight overall. The Islanders are 2-8 in their last 10 when their opponent allows 2 goals or less in their previous game and 1-4 in their last five overall. The Penguins are serious about getting the top spot and take down the Islanders.
