The New York Islanders, folks, can clinch a playoff berth on Saturday. It’s not a situation yet where if they just win by themselves, they’re in—it would still require some help to get it done on Saturday. But considering the Eastern Conference’s regular season doesn’t end until Wednesday, that is a pretty good spot to be in. Their magic number is down to three (and their tragic number is 11, an eight-point gap) In other words, they just need three more points out of their final three games to clinch on their own, notwithstanding the results of other games.
