The Ice Is Set for Epic Showdowns!
The New York Rangers are ready to claim their throne atop the Metropolitan Division. They just need to ice the New York Islanders tonight (7 p.m. ET; MSGSN, MSG 2) AND watch the Carolina Hurricanes freeze in defeat against the Boston Bruins in regulation (7 p.m. ET; BSSO, NESN). It's a high-stakes double-header that could etch the Rangers' name in division history!
On the Western Front: Playoff Dreams Hang in the Balance
Attention Western Conference teams! The Nashville Predators could glide into the playoffs with just one point against the Winnipeg Jets (8 p.m. ET; BSSO, TSN3). Not to be outdone, the Los Angeles Kings aim to reign supreme with a victory over the Anaheim Ducks (10 p.m. ET; BSSD, BSSC, KCAL, SN360). Meanwhile, the Dallas Stars have their eyes on the Central Division crown - a win against the Buffalo Sabres secures their fate (8 p.m. ET; BSSWX, MSG-B), but that's not all - they also need the Colorado Avalanche to stumble against the Minnesota Wild in regulation (9:30 p.m. ET; ESPN) and the Jets to falter versus the Predators in regulation.
Stanley Cup Chase Heats up on April 9
On April 9, the race for the Stanley Cup Playoffs intensifies with teams poised to secure their spots:
-
The New York Rangers aim to snag the Metropolitan Division title by outplaying the Islanders (7 p.m. ET) and counting on a Hurricanes' regulation loss to the Bruins.
-
To grab the Atlantic Division, the Bruins need to triumph over the Hurricanes plus hope for Leafs' and Panthers' setbacks against the Devils and Senators, respectively.
Heading west:
-
The Nashville Predators are a single point away from playoff glory as they face the Jets (8 p.m. ET).
-
Playoff doors will swing open for the Los Angeles Kings if they can dismiss the Ducks (10 p.m. ET).
-
Central Division aspirations for the Dallas Stars hinge on defeating the Sabres (8 p.m. ET) and a double favor - Avalanche and Jets losses in regulation.
