Intrigue: Will Washington pull away in the playoff race?
The “capital” after the crisis at the beginning of the season made an unexpected rise and 11 games before the end of the regular season returned to the playoff zone!

The rival, however, is Toronto, which has not yet officially secured its playoff spot. Led by Auston Matthews, who is chasing Alexander Ovechkin’s record for most goals in a season in the 21st century. Will Washington force the fight?

🏒 2:00: Florida Panthers – New York Islanders, NHL regular season
Intrigue: Will the Islanders lose their playoff chances?
“New York” was close to the playoff zone for a long time, but at the end of the regular season it completely gave up and is now languishing in 11th place in the East. The Islanders are six points out of eighth place. And the opponents will be the third team in the conference: Florida. In this match, the result will be decided by the goalkeepers: who will emerge victorious from the confrontation between Sergei Bobrovsky and Ilya Sorokin?
Sorokin remains one of the best goalies in the NHL:

🏀 3:00: New Orleans Pelicans – Milwaukee Bucks, NBA regular season
Intrigue: Will Giannis and Lillard reunite after the game against the Lakers?
In the last game of the regular season, the Milwaukee Bucks lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in overtime with a score of 124:128. But what is surprising is how the “deer” managed to lose. The team, led by Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, led by 19 points in the fourth quarter, but still ended up weaker. This is something head coach Doc Rivers and all the players need to think about. Can Milwaukee draw the right conclusions from such a disappointing loss? Because the game against the New Orleans Pelicans promises to be complicated. The Pelicans have lost only three of their last 10 games in the NBA regular season.
The Pelicans got revenge on Butler and company:

Intrigue: Will Dynamo stay in the championship race?
After an intense restart of the season, Marcel Lička’s team became a full participant in the fight for gold. There are only two points left against Zenit, there is a full-time match ahead, why not take advantage of the opportunity? Although the team has objective difficulties, a large number of playbooks do not add variety to the coach when choosing the squad after the international break. Although for Rostov in this sense it is definitely not easier: they worked not only without several players, but also without a head coach. They still have to reach Moscow. The search is definitely not the easiest. The Donetsk team, by the way, also had a great start to the season. That’s why they won’t let Dynamo go without a fight.
