Tonight, both the Islanders and Rangers can clinch playoff berths. The Islanders take on the Hurricanes in Raleigh and the Rangers visit the Panthers. Here’s how they can wrap it up:

Islanders clinch ‘if’:

-they win any way against Carolina and Winnipeg loses.
-they earn a point and Washington defeats Winnipeg in regulation.

Rangers clinch ‘if’:

-they win against Florida and Washington beats Winnipeg in regulation.

Basically, as long as the Islanders and Rangers earn two points, a Winnipeg regulation defeat guarantees the postseason for the Battle Of New York bitter rivals.

The Capitals can clinch the Southeast and East’s No.3 seed  ‘if’:

-they defeat Winnipeg in regulation or overtime.

Out West, two teams can claim playoff berths.

Sharks clinch ‘if’:

-they earn a point against Dallas.

they earn a point against Colorado.
