The Islanders have had quite a few struggles lately and losing to the Rangers definitely does not help the Islanders confidence at all. The one plus that the Islanders may have going for them is playing at home, but the Capitals have a lot stronger offense with more talent and depth, but also have a better overall team. Look for the Capitals talent to make the difference in the game here. Final Score Prediction, Washington Capitals win 3-2.
