Washington won Game 4 on Tuesday, but it only delayed the inevitable as New York still has a three-games-to-one lead in the series and can close it out today. The Islanders did blow a two-goal lead and were victimized by four second-period penalties. Semyon Varlamov had 26 saves for New York and has had a stellar postseason. Varlamov has a 1.87 goals-against average in eight games and a .927 save percentage with a 6-2 record. Braden Holtby is 2-5 with a 2.55 GAA for the Capitals in seven games. Look for New York to make the necessary adjustments and cut down on the penalties. Play the Islanders for a Max Play.
