Washington plays its second straight road game after a physical 3-2 win at defending champion St. Louis. The Capitals are 28-74 as an underdog, including 10-21 as a road dog. They face the rival New York Islanders, who finished one point behind Washington for first place in the Metropolitan Division last season and bring back the same talented corps. New York opens the season with three straight home games and last year led the league defensively in goals allowed. The rivals split four games last season and this is a great situational spot for the rested home team. Play the Islanders.
