\n The Islanders will need to wait and see who they\u2019ll face in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. <\/p>\n

The Islanders are the No. 6 seed after their 5-1 win over the Panthers to close out the series<\/a> and, with the Canadiens finishing off the Penguins on Friday, the Islanders will face the winner of Sunday\u2019s Capitals-Bruins round-robin game.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a lot of confidence in our game,\u201d defenseman Ryan Pulock said on a Zoom call. \u201cThe style that we play, we know that if we can play our way and to our identity that it gives us a chance to win every night.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur focus was on this series coming in. We got that job done. Now it\u2019s going to be regroup and see who we play. Just go back to work.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

Islanders coach Barry Trotz inserted Leo Komarov into the lineup in place of Tom Kuhnhackl for Game 4 to bolster the team\u2019s penalty kill. <\/p>\n

It worked. <\/p>\n

\u201cLeo is prepared. I think when we were starting this process we figured Leo would be in the lineup and then obviously he got injured in the Phase 2 part of it [restart],\u201d Trotz said. \u201cHe\u2019s worked really hard, he feels very confident that he can come back now and play.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just felt obviously Florida\u2019s power play is tremendous, it\u2019s all-world, it\u2019s dangerous on every element. We felt that Leo is a veteran guy, he\u2019s a heavier guy than maybe Tommy. He felt like he was ready so we said let\u2019s put him in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Komarov\u2019s presence on the penalty kill suppressed Florida\u2019s dynamic power play four-out-of-five times Friday.<\/p>\n

Komarov didn\u2019t participate with the varsity during Phase 3 training camp 2.0 as he battled through an undisclosed injury that kept him off the ice for the first two days, instead skating with the group of extras toward the end. He wore a full-caged helmet in camp and again on the ice Friday in his series debut. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe knew we had to step up in special teams, such a big part of this series for us,\u201d Pulock said. \u201cThey got that one and we were trying to keep making adjustments, trying to get the job done. Leo stepping in did a great job for us tonight, good on the kill.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a result of the Islanders moving on to the official playoffs, the Senators receive the team\u2019s first-round pick as part of the Jean-Gabriel Pageau trade. <\/p>\n

If the Islanders win the Stanley Cup, the Senators will also receive the Isles\u2019 third-round draft pick. Pageau finished the play-in series against Florida with three goals.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
