The extreme confrontation between these teams ended in Washington's favor with a minimal gap (3-2). The Islanders had a great opportunity to close their opponents without a single defeat, but they were unable to capitalize on the two-goal advantage they earned.

Washington

The leaders of the conference are not particularly lucky this season, because after Milwaukee, the Lakers lost their first match in the playoffs. As the team did not try, but failed to get the opponent. Frank Vogel’s wards lost to Portland (93-100), although it is worth noting that two key persons took part in the match – LeBron James and Anthony Davis. However, they could not compare with the fantastic game of Damian Lillard. Now the “lake” faces a difficult task, because they need to compare the score in the series, although the “blazers” are in great shape and feel that their time has come, so the club from Los Angeles needs to prepare for a serious battle.

Islanders

The Islanders were probably already confident in their victory in the series after a 2-0 score in the last match, and this self-confidence did not go to their advantage. The Islanders obviously relaxed and paid for it, so in the upcoming fight they will probably act even more carefully. It is worth noting that they have never conceded more than three goals in a meeting in this Stanley Cup. Barry Trotz’s squad is usually great defensively, but also effective in attack. By the way, three hockey players have already scored seven points on the goal + pass system. Among them, we note Matthew Barzal, Josh Bailey and Anthony Beauville. Thus, in total in this playoff, the team suffered two defeats.

Columbus - Chicago: will opponents play effectively?
Houston vs Philadelphia: who has more strength left?

Prediction

The Islanders had a great start last match and were close to winning, but then relaxed and ended up leaving themselves for another fight. Most likely, if the Islanders play competently on the defensive in the upcoming meeting, as it was in the starting games, they will get victory and move on to the next round.
