The two teams will face each other in the first round of the qualifiers. Hurricanes guarantee the division’s lead and have a date with the Nashville Predators.
The Bruins leave the islanders behind
Taylor Hall scored his second goal of the match in extra time to secure the Boston Bruins to finish the race ahead of the New York Islanders in the standings with a 3-2 win.

With 73 points, the Bruins will end their regular season with a game against the Washington Capitals, who are second with 75 points.
Islanders 2 – Bruins 3 (lengthening)
In the 70 points before the start of the match, the islanders had to win the list in hopes of advancing over Bruins in the standings. They also removed their goalkeeper at the end of organizational time when the score was 2-2 in an attempt to break the deadlock, but to no avail.
Sorokin took over from Simeon Varlamov for the third term when the latter was injured.
Hall opened the scoring with a seventh goal in a Bruins costume. Oliver Wahlstrom equalized the match, but Brad Marchand put the Bruins back on top. Matthew Berzal beat Touka Rusk with a good shot to equalize the game before the end of the second half. Your head only had to save 16 in the win.
The islanders face the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round of qualifiers.
Preds passes a message to the sticks
The Nashville Predators sent a message to Carolina Hurricanes before their playoff match as they defeated the latter 5-0.
Peter Marazick was roughly handled in front of a stick cage while Matt Duchenne shook the ropes twice. Rocco Grimaldi, Ryan Johansen and Tanner Ginot flashed the red light in the win, as Becca Rin managed to save 30 times. This is the close of 60 of his career.

A disappointing season ending for Felli
Joel Farabi scored twice, James Van Rimsdick scored the goal in force of play, and the Philadelphia Flyers defeated the New Jersey Devils 4-2 to seal their season.
The Flyers ended another campaign without ever being able to lift the Stanley Cup, a feat they hadn’t accomplished since their successive wins in 1974 and 1975, and was one of the most disappointing campaigns in the history of the franchise.
Gritty’s mascot tore off its orange fur, revealing a green navel, as the end of the game whistle rang across the runway. Then the pilots raised their sticks towards the roof of the building to greet 2,000 fans in the stands at Wells Fargo Center.
Many expected the Flyers to conduct the qualifiers directly from the training camp, and the second, led by coach Alan Vigneault.
But their hopes were dashed in March, after suffering 11 losses, and the Flyers allowed the New York Rangers to score 15 goals in two matches simultaneously. If some saw the pilots crowned at the top of the eastern section, many of them were disappointed as they headed to one, the other, excluding the Spring Dance.
Falk has the last word for the blues
In a match that had no effect in the standings, the St. Louis Blues defeated the Los Angeles Kings 2-1 in overtime.
Justin Falk accepted David Perron’s delivery on entry and defeated Cal Petersen with a minute 46-second shot of extra time.
Falk was also a partner of Tyler Bozak’s fifth goal in the campaign. Alex Yavalo leveled the score for the Kings midway through the third half.
Jordan Pennington turned 26 pucks while Petersen faced just 19 shots.
The Blues are indeed sure to finish their fourth season in the West. Kings are excluded from the playoff photo.
