The Isles Magic Number to clinch a playoff berth is 36 (over Toronto). As a refresher, the magic number is the points gained by Isles/lost by opponent that guarantee the Isles will finish ahead of the team in question. Toronto can finish with 106 points, meaning the Isles need 36 more points to lock them out.
Sunday's games (top 13 only):
Isles @ Calgary 4pm
Buffalo @ Pittsburgh 5pm
Columbus @ New Jersey 5pm
The Isles magic number is dependent only on their result. It will be 34 if the Isles win, 35 if they lose in extra time and 36 if they lose in regulation.
Monday's games:
Rangers @ Tampa Bay 7:30
Dallas @ Washington 7:30
Boston @ Ottawa 7:30
The Isles magic number will not change on Monday.
