The Skinny on the Playoff Chase

 It was a fairly decent off night for the Isles in the Metro race as Pittsburgh, Columbus, Philadelphia and Washington all lost in regulation. 

However, Ottawa moved into a playoff spot, and Detroit's win in Philly created a 3-way tie at 88 points.

Isles can take a three point lead in the playoff race with a home-ice win on Friday night
