Washington Capitals
The Washington Capitals (44-24-12; 42-38 ATS) lost to the New York Islanders on Tuesday at home, 4-1. That moved Washington to 6-2-2 in their last 10 games, but the club has locked in the second and final wildcard position in the Eastern Conference with 100 points. They have a +35 goal differential.
Conor Sheary scored the only goal of the game for Washington, his 19th of the season. Ilya Samsonov struggled in the contest, allowing four goals on only 26 shots. Washington is only going as far in the playoffs as their goaltending will carry them, as they are 13th in the NHL in goals allowed per game at 2.93. Vitek Vanecek (2.60 GAA, .910 save percentage) and Samsonov (3.02, .896) are each trying to make a case for why they should be “the guy” during the playoffs.
New York Islanders
The New York Islanders (36-34-10; 37-43 ATS) defeated Washington on Tuesday, 4-1. The Islanders are 3-6-1 in their last 10 contests, recording 82 points, 18 points behind Washington for the final playoff spot. The club has played well at home this season, going 19-15-5.
Four different players scored goals for the Islanders in the victory, including two by a defenseman. Goal scoring has been an issue for this club, as they have averaged 2.75 goals per game, 24th overall. The power-play has been solid (20.8%) but they needed better production to backup the outstanding goaltending from the steam, eighth overall at 2.80 goals allowed per game. Noah Dobson has six points over his last five games and is trying to reach the 50-point mark, currently two points shy.
