Analysis
The New York Islanders blew a perfect chance to close out the Washington Capitals after taking an early two-goal lead. Washington battled back to take a 3-2 win and extend the series. Washington goaltender Braden Holtby got the win allowing just 2 goals on 26 shots. Semyon Varlamov was the hard-luck loser allowing three goals on 29 shots.

New York is 4-1 in their last 5 games overall and 6-2 in their last 8 playoff games as an underdog. Washington is 2-6 in their last 8 games overall and 0-5 in their last 5 games following a win. New York is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between these two teams. Washington got some life with their comeback win. Maybe more important for Washington was that they scored some goals. I like Washington to ride that momentum and get this series a little closer.

Play on Washington.
