Islanders Playoff Gameday News: The task of finishing off the Capitals

The Capitals, on the verge of getting swept by the Islanders, took advantage of a couple power plays to keep their season alive with a 3-2 win.

Sound familiar? It should, because that’s quite literally exactly what the Florida Panthers did against the Islanders in the Qualifying Round, right down to the score. The following game went pretty well, I think.

The Caps are better than the Cats, but the Islanders could still finish them off tonight if they stick to their game and can withstand Washington’s inevitable, desperate onslaught.

Game 5 will be tonight at 8:00 p.
