With an Islanders win and a Ranger loss the Islanders end up in 6th place and have date with the Thrashers in the 1st round. After losing 3 starting players in the last few games and having to scramble to replace them we made it without losing another player today. Michael Ryder tallied 2 assists in his debut. Hopefully he can keep his hot streak going in the playoffs as he as put up 6 Goals and 6 Assists in his last 7 games. It may have been a bold move to start Conklin in a game with a position on the line but Lundqvist needed the break and it paid off with Ty finishing the season with a 7-2-1 record .914 SV Pct and a 2.68 GAA.
