New York at Buffalo

The Islanders are assured of a postseason appearance but they have lost two in a row and I believe they bring a great effort here to avoid a momentum-killing three-game losing streak. After their last game, forward Colin McDonald called his team out: "We came out flat again. It's just not good enough. We need to be better. It really doesn't matter that we clinched the playoffs. It doesn't really mean anything. We want to be going into the playoffs playing good hockey, so we have one game left to kind of correct it and head into the playoffs with a good feeling."  Let's not forget that despite the two losses, this team is 11-5 in their last sixteen games, punching a playoffs ticket for the first time since 2007. Take the Islanders for the win here.
