The Islanders, Toronto Maple Leafs and Tampa Bay Lightning are in a three-way race for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, so the Leafs-Lightning game tonight is of great interest to the Isles.
If the Islanders beat the Jets, they'll hold the second wild card for another day, but if the Isles lose, the winner of Leafs-Lightning will take over the wild card spot.
"The guys know where we stand and we're not looking for anyone else to help us," Weight said "But we've got ourselves in a position where we control our own destiny, so let's keep going from there."
JETS PROJECTED LINES:
Connor Hellebuyck will start in goal for the Jets.
