The New York Islanders are heading to Washington riding a nine-game winning streak. The Caps have also been hot of late, but I think they'll come up short in this matchup. I think Washington is at risk of coming out flat after routing Buffalo in a 6-0 win last night while the Isles should remain on their toes after just getting past New Jersey in a shootout on Sunday.

The road team is 12-3 in the last 15 meetings and the Islanders are 7-2 in the last 9 meetings in Washington.

8* play on New York Islanders.
