The New York Islanders need another result today, and another win in D.C. against the playoff bystander Washington Capitals.
It should all be very achievable if the offense continues its recent form (hopeful but dicey) and/or if Ilya Sorokin continues his Vezina form (a better bet, that). Last time in Washington was no walk in the park, though the Isles did pick up two points through their first and still only shootout win of the season.
They could use a regulation win tonight, in order to take that tie-breaking advantage away from the Panthers.
