Preseason: Islanders and Capitals wrap up exhibition schedule at Verizon Center

The teams' final tune-ups and stretches before the real show begins.

In the last of their exhibition games, the Islanders travel closer to the almost eye of the storm to face the Capitals in Washington. Game time is a slightly odd 5 pm.

With a 2-5 record, including a 3-1 loss to the Caps at Barclays Center on Monday, the Islanders' preseason has been mostly underwhelming (as far as glorified practice sessions and job auditions can go). But, even worse, they've run up against the injuries everyone hates to see before the regular season even starts.
