Panthers/Islanders:

The Florida Panthers will be looking to stay in the Playoff race, and the situation is not going to become any more favorable for this young team. With two games in hand, and sitting at just three points out, Florida will certainly be feeling the pressure, and even more so after a recent hot streak.

The Islanders have been playing with a carefree, reckless, but offense focused approach all season, and this has landed them on the outside looking in. Since they are also eliminated, expect them to also be less aggressive with their offensive schemes, but strategic enough to give Florida a hard time in a spoiler situation.

All in all, I think the Panthers may be a little distracted by the standings, and will have more difficulty than usual scoring against a weak Islanders offense, while New York plays a grittier spoiler game to make things difficult for the Panthers.
