Intriguing day for the Eastern Conference playoffs. Buffalo has to beat Detroit here to keep climbing back into the mix.

Islanders will want to beat Ottawa to give themselves a shot at Philly and the WC spot.

Lightning play the Panthers who are battling the Bruins for top spot, and the Flyers play the Bruins. Add in the Penguins and their faded hopes vs the Rangers. Caps still hanging around too so they'll know all these results before they play the Canucks.
