‘Since the Islanders need to beat the Flyers today and the New Jersey Devils on Sunday afternoon and receive a little help from the Leafs tonight, if they fail to record two points this afternoon they are done and the Canadiens can clinch with any victory. the Leafs, meanwhile, must win in regulation — if the Canadiens lose in overtime or in a shootout, they both will finish with 91 points and the Canadiens own the first tiebreaker with more wins — and hope the Islanders don’t collect all four points.’
