The Eastern Conference playoff race has a distinctly different look now than it did in late March. While the Boston Bruins, Pittsburgh Penguins and Montreal Canadiens have solidified their spots, the Philadelphia Flyers crashed the party by going on an improbable run to get into a playoff position. The Detroit Red Wings dropped in the standings, and the New York Islanders had such a late-season swoon that general manager Mathieu Darche fired coach Patrick Roy with four games left. Alex Ovechkin also may be nearing the end of his NHL career with the Washington Capitals running out of time to make up ground.

Thoughts from the #NYRβs two wins this weekend
β’Two hat tricks

Charlie Lindgren allowed eight goals on 32 shots as the defense melted down in front of him, and the Washington Capitals blew a major opportunity to keep pace in the Eastern Conference playoff race by losing to the already-eliminated New York Rangers 8-1. They now face a daunting task to get in: three points back with four games left to play. Will Cuylle scored with 31.5 seconds left to complete his first NHL hat trick. The Rangers have won five of their past six games at home.
