The New York Islanders are a handful, with a winning record both home and away while ranked #4 in the NHL in goals scored. They've been playing some defense too, as Washington is 1-for-7 on the power play in the series. The Islanders are 24-11 against the Metropolitan Division. Washington RW Eric Fehr will miss his second straight contest with an upper-body injury. The pressure is on Washington to hold home ice, but the Capitals are 1-5 in their last six home games vs. a team with a winning road record, so grab the talented dog and play the NY Islanders.
