The Capitals picked up where they left off last season. However, the Capitals had to battle back from the fact that the offense did not get off to a good start in the game and that really cost the Capitals a lot of the momentum they could have had heading into this game to face the Islanders who were a surprise last year with how well they ended up playing on the year.
The good news for the Capitals fans is they were able to see Braden Holtby in the net and he has not lost a step during the off season. What else is really looking good for the Capitals is the fact that the team managed to have a good game from Alex Ovechkin who had been battling some lingering injury issues heading into the game.

However, the Islanders are a team that really needs to get off to a hot start if they want to make it easier to get to the playoffs and hopefully be able to avoid the early sweep that they had early on last season.
