The Isles and the Pens need the last game or two of the regular season to iron out wrinkles so they can avoid an early exit from the NHL’s postseason.

[dfads params=’groups=64160&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

Both New York and Pittsburgh are currently a cut below the Rangers and Washington in the Metropolitan division. The Isles and Pens are currently third and fourth in the division, respectively.

The Islanders have a dynamic young core with plenty of goal-scoring touch, led by MVP candidate (were it not for Habs goalie Carey Price) John Tavares. However, New York has problems keeping the puck out of its own net.

Goaltender Jaroslav Halak has been shaky lately, and the Isles also suffer through a lower-tier penalty kill unit – usually not the mark of a successful team in the playoffs. They definitely need to right the ship on that front.

There is some question whether the Isles can make a deep run with Halak between the pipes, so all eyes will definitely be on the Slovakian over the next few weeks.

[dfads params=’groups=16&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

For Pittsburgh’s part, they have a tiny one-point margin over the Boston Bruins for the last playoff spot in the East. The Pens have been pretty bad lately, and if they miss the playoffs, don’t be surprised if their highly-paid, superstar foundation gets broken up.

You can’t lay this at the feet of annual-best-player-in-the-league Sidney Crosby, right?

Crosby’s production has been undeniable throughout his career, despite notable injury worries.

The Penguins have lost six of their past eight games, which is exactly the opposite way you want to be trending this time of year, unless you’re gunning for the #1 overall pick in the draft (and enough teams are trying to do that).

They managed to salvage a point in their last game, an OT loss to the resilient Ottawa Senators. Pittsburgh desperately needs this home victory to shore up their playoff lives. If it breaks the other way, major changes will be on the horizon.

[dfads params=’groups=64161&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

The Islanders are a dangerous goal-scoring team every time they take the ice, but you have to think that if the Penguins are ever going to show some fight in them, it will be tonight in the Consol Energy Center.

Pittsburgh’s final game of the season is a “gimme” against the league-worst Buffalo Sabres, so if the Pens can at least grab a point against tonight’s opponent, they should be in good shape. No one wants to leave their playoff outlook until the final game of the regular season, however.

Bucking the recent trend, expect the Penguins to take care of business at home tonight.

The Bolts are vying for a favorable seed and a deep run in the NHL’s “Second Season”, while the Sabres are selling everything but the bathroom fixtures, in complete rebuild mode.

With a 38-20-6 record, good for 82 points and second in the Atlantic division, Tampa Bay believes it is ready for the big time.

[dfads params=’groups=64160&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

Featuring scoring sensation Steven Stamkos, breakthrough player Tyler Johnson and a treasure trove of other skilled European players, the Bolts have been near the top of the division and the Eastern Conference for the balance of the season.

In fact, it is only the Montreal Canadiens (also known as the stellar goaltending of Carey Price) that is keeping Tampa from the divisional crown.

The Buffalo Sabres franchise may as well be in a different universe. The Sabres are selling off literally anyone and everyone of value, jettisoning players at the deadline and grabbing prospects and draft picks with both hands.

[dfads params=’groups=16&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

Buffalo’s last deal was to ship their starting goalie Michal Neuvirth (which doesn’t say much to begin with) to the New York Islanders for their backup, Chad Johnson. Neuvirth will back up Jaroslav Halak on Long Island, while Johnson will surely be the worst starting goaltender in the NHL.

The franchise in the Queen City is trying to lose in every conceivable way, so it can stay at the bottom of the league standings and have the best probability of grabbing Connor McDavid with the first overall pick in the upcoming Draft.

It is tremendously likely now that Buffalo will get either McDavid or Jack Eichel with the second overall pick in an excellent Draft, and in doing so should grab the franchise player that can turn the franchise around.

[dfads params=’groups=64161&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

Until then, it’s going to be ugly on the Great Lakes – no question.

Unless Tampa Bay sleepwalks though this game – unlikely on home ice and in its current position – this game should be a cakewalk. If Buffalo is not trying to actively lose games, it isn’t far off.

Evander Kane, the mercurial talent from Winnipeg that Buffalo acquired in exchange for Drew Stafford, Tyler Myers and draft picks, will not even play until next season. Sabres fans have to take their medicine and exercise patience.

4* Free NHL Pick: Tampa Bay 4, Buffalo 0

Tampa’s potent scorers should light up Johnson early and often. The Sabres will just be looking to audition AHL players and see which young pieces are worth keeping to pair with McDavid/Eichel.
