There are a bunch of teams within striking distance for the 8th spot in the Eastern Conference.

 

GP W L OTL PTS

7 NY RANGERS 47 23 20 4 50

8 TAMPA BAY 48 24 22 2 50

 

9 TORONTO 47 21 20 6 48

10 PITTSBURGH 44 20 17 7 47

11 BOSTON 44 21 19 4 46

12 NY ISLANDERS 46 21 21 4 46

13 WASHINGTON 46 19 20 7 45

14 FLORIDA 48 17 21 10 44

 

I pick the Bruins. Their level of play has come WAY UP since early in the season.

I think Tampa Bay will make it at 7. I could see The Rangers getting passed by either Toronto, Pittsburgh or the Islanders.

there is a kind of the danger with the #1 playing the #8 -

 

The #8 has already been through playoff hockey just making the cut.
