Washington is ninth in the NHL in goals allowed. Star Alex Ovechkin has been resting and the team has scored seven goals in four games. New York is a defensive-first team under head coach Patrick Roy, ranked 13th in save percentage (.901). The offense ranks 31st on the power play, 30th in shooting percentage, and 25th in goals scored (2.75 per game). The Islanders are off a 1-0 win over New Jersey, part of a 4-3 run UNDER the total. That included a 4-1 game two weeks ago against this Washington squad. Take Washington/New York UNDER the total.

Washington at New York
April 6, 2025
12:30 PM Eastern
Washington can play any style with a defense that is seventh in goals given up (2.68 per game), eighth in penalty killing, and 12th in save percentage (.903). They face a terrible New York offense that is 25th in goals scored (2.72 goals per game), 31st on the power play, and 30th in shooting percentage. New York's defense is 13th in save percentage (.903). The Islanders come off a 3-1 win at home over Minnesota and this shapes up as another game with more defense than offense. Take Washington/New York UNDER the total.

New York at Washington
November 29, 2024
3:00 PM Eastern
New York will attempt to turn things around as the Islanders aren't giving up many shots, but they are allowing too many goals, and they come off a 6-3 loss to Boston on Wednesday when the Bruins scored three times in the third period. Washington has lost four straight home games and has gone OVER six of its past nine games overall. The Islanders are 5-1 OVER versus Metropolitan Division teams. The Capitals are 8-1 OVER as favorites of -110 to -150, and New York is 4-0-1 OVER as an underdog of +110 to +150. Ilya Sorokin is probable for the Islanders with a 2.70 goals-against average and a .909 save percentage. Sorokin is poised to redeem himself after the Boston loss two nights ago. We're getting good value with the road underdog. Take the Islanders and the OVER.
