New York at New York

The New York Islanders are glad they don't have to face the Capitals again as they just lost three straight to them. Next up is the Rangers, who they have beaten four of six games this year including 6-1 on April 20. Semyon Varlamov is 17-9-4 with a 2.12 goals-against average and .926 save percentage for the Islanders and he shut out Washington his last start before losing a shootout. Varlamov has allowed a total of just seven goals his past five games. The Islanders have bounced back and won seven of their past 10 after scoring two or fewer goals their previous game and they are 18-8 the past 26 meetings with the Rangers. The road team has won five of the past six meetings. Take the Islanders.
