THE BEST NHL CARD OF THE SEASON TONIGHT 100%

The Capitals will be on a back-to-back tonight as they are coming off a 5-1 victory in Carolina making them 9-2 on the season. Note that the Caps are 5-2 in their last 7 on 0 days of rest. The Islanders have had a day off to try and regroup as they dropped their 6th straight game on Thursday at home against the Jets. New York is just 2-7 in their last 9 games on 1 days rest. Not much is going well for the Islanders who are 3-5-2 on the season. They are averaging just 1.8 goals per game, compared to the Capitals who are averaging 4 goals per game. Over their 6 game losing streak the Islanders have scored just 7 goals. Tomas Vokoun looks to get the start for Washington tonight after a night off. Vokoun is 7-1 on the season with a 2.36 GAA and .920 SV%. Rick DiPietro is the confirmed starter for the Islanders, and he is 0-1-1 with a 2.50 GAA and .909 SV% this season. The Capitals took all four of these two teams meetings last season, and have won 6 straight overall. The Capitals are also 38-13-3 in their last 54 meetings overall, and 19-7-1 in their last 27 meetings in New York. The Caps are 7-2 in their last 9 games as a favorite of -110 to -150, and 39-18 in their last 57 vs Atlantic division opponents. the Caps are 60-28 in their last 88 vs a team with a losing record. Note that the Islanders are 18-45 in their last 63 games following a loss of 3 goals or more, 1-6 in their last 7 Saturday games, and 0-4 in their last 4 games as a home underdog of +110 to +150. Struggling as much as they are, it will be tough for the Islanders to pull off the upset tonight against the Capitals. Washington continues to roll tonight and I will take them laying just a bit of chalk on the road.
