The New York Islanders and visiting Pittsburgh Penguins find themselves with little to nothing on the line in Wednesday's regular-season finale. The Islanders (38-27-16, 92 points) clinched both a playoff spot and third place in the Metropolitan Division on Monday with a 4-1 win over the New Jersey Devils. The Penguins (38-31-12, 88 points) kept their playoff hopes alive with a 4-2 victory over the Nashville Predators on Monday but needed Washington to lose to Philadelphia and Detroit to fall to Montreal on Tuesday to avoid elimination.
