The Carolina Hurricanes have two games remaining in the regular season, and their hopes at a Metropolitan Division championship and Presidents’ Trophy win are still alive. The New York Rangers took care of business against the Islanders on Sunday, which means the Canes don’t control their own destiny and would need the Rangers to not get two points against the Senators in their last game. For any of that to matter though, the Hurricanes will need to add two more to their four-game winning streak...
So it’s Hurricanes versus the Islanders starting this weekend. Thanks to the sequence of events of the games last night, the New York Rangers secured the Metropolitan Division title, as well as the Presidents’ Trophy for the season. They’ll be the top seed for the playoffs, and they await the winner of the second Wild Card. Also last night, the other New York team—the Islanders—won and secured third place in the Metro meaning they’ll face off against the Hurricanes in Round One. The easy thing...
The 2024 NHL playoffs begin with the Islanders and Hurricanes meeting again for a first-round series in Raleigh. Same teams, but many differences from last year — a different coach for the Islanders, obviously, but also this year they should have a healthy Mat Barzal rather than the one just returning from injury last season. However Noah Dobson, who’s had a breakout year, is in that position Barzal had last year, entering the lineup fresh off an injury, and perhaps not 100%. J-G Pageau, who’s...

The Islanders visit the Carolina Hurricanes for Game 1 of their NHL Stanley
Here we are at Game 82 of the regular season with the postseason on the horizon in just a matter of days. The game at hand must be played even though both the Edmonton Oilers and Colorado Avalanche are locked into their playoff seeding and have essentially nothing to play for. However, valuable points are on the line as Nathan MacKinnon still chases the Art Ross trophy and the franchise record in points. Another wrinkle to this game is if Colorado or Edmonton finishes with more points as they...
