Washington Capitals

"Washington" is currently in 13th place in the Eastern Conference and is likely to stay there. The team is in its worst form of the regular season, having lost six games in a row. It is possible that the results reflect the morale of Laviolette's team after losing their chances to make the playoffs.

It should be noted that prior to this, at home, the "Capitals" lost to the "Rangers" (2-5) and "Florida" (2-4), and on the road, they were defeated by the outsider, "Montreal" - 2-6. It is noteworthy that in the four previous cases, no less than four goals were scored against the "capital" team.

New York Islanders

On the contrary, the "Islanders" are actively fighting for the opportunity to participate in the Stanley Cup playoffs and currently occupy the eighth position in the East. However, the team needs to win two more games to guarantee themselves a place in the playoffs.

After a defeat to Carolina (1-2), the Islanders got their act together and dealt with both Tampa (6-1) and Philadelphia (4-0) at home, conceding only one goal in total. In general, Lambert's team often demonstrates reliable defense, so their opponents have trouble creating scoring opportunities.
