#3: Washington Capitals Vs. New York Islanders
This one should be a doozy. It takes place on Thursday February 4th at the Verizon Center. Yes, the Washington Capitals have back to back home games on NBCSN. I’m honestly surprised that only one Caps-Islanders game will be shown on national television, especially considering how close their first round series was during the playoffs.
The Caps and Islanders fought hard in a seven game series that ended with Evgeny Kuznetsov scoring the game winning goal in game seven.
I’m sure the Islanders would love to get revenge on the Capitals by beating them in their house on February 4th. Likewise, I’m sure the Caps would love to remind the Islanders who’s boss. Should be an excellent game as John Tavares and Alex Ovechkin both try to lead their teams to a huge win.
