ASA TOP PLAY 10* on New York Islanders Money Line (-) over Washington Capitals, Tuesday at 8:00 PM ET

The Islanders took 3 of 4 from the Panthers in the qualifying round to eliminate Florida from the post-season in convincing fashion. In fact, even in the game they lost to the Panthers, the Islanders were the better team. This hockey club has been "in the zone" ever since they got to the bubble it seems. The Islanders are well-coached under Barry Trotz and, of course, this is the same Trotz that led the Capitals to a Stanley Cup Championship season in 2018 when they beat the Golden Knights to win it all. After not being brought back by the Caps, Trotz went to the Islanders. Now he is showing the Capitals how it is done once again and you know he is itching for the sweep here to put an exclamation point on it. We see him getting it as the Islanders have won 6 of 7 post-season games while Washington has won just 1 of 6 games under the bubble in Toronto. The Capitals are a good team and will be giving it their all once again but the Islanders continue to stifle and frustrate them. Not only has Varlamov been great between the pipes but also the Islanders held the Caps to just 20 shots on goal in regulation time of Game 3. Per our computer math model, the Isles finish off the Capitals here. Bet the New York Islanders on the money line in evening action Tuesday.
