New York Islanders vs. Washington Capitals Predictions
Score Prediction Islanders 3 Capitals 2
Third consecutive game between these two teams still trying to hunt down Pittsburgh for first place in the East, and because of it, I think we get a game that more resembles that first game of the three (1-0) as opposed to the most recent one (6-3).
Through seven head-to-head meetings this year, these two teams have yet to play consecutive contests 'over' the total, and the Islanders themselves are a perfect 0-3 O/U this year after allowing five or more goals last time out. One of those three occurrences happened back in late January against this same Washington team, oddly enough after a 6-3 Washington win.
The Islander's next game there was a 3-2 OT loss to the Flyers, but the other two instances finished with 1-0 and 2-1 scores, meaning I wouldn't be surprised to see five goals be the ceiling tonight.
