New York looks to go up three games to none after beating Washington 5-2 on Friday. Semyon Varlamov had another stellar performance with 23 saves, and the Islanders have allowed a total of only five goals in their last three games. Brock Nelson scored the go-ahead goal for New York seconds after Alex Ovechkin had tied it in the second period, and the Islanders never looked back. The Capitals just can't seem to get on track as they have lost four of five games since the restart while scoring only nine goals. Washington is only 35-39 on the puckline this season, and it has lost five straight games as a favorite. Play the Islanders on the puckline.
