This Metropolitan Division battle is a toss-up at the sportsbooks, but FiveThirtyEight likes the 34-32-8 Capitals to beat the 38-28-9 Islanders 55% of the time, which makes them an easy pick when you factor in the –108 juice at BetRivers.
The projected starting goalie matchup at Left Wing Lock has Darcy Kuemper (.911 save percentage) between the pipes for Washington opposite Ilya Sorokin (.924 SV%). Of the two, Sorokin has enjoyed the better season, but Islanders defenseman Sebastian Aho is day-to-day with an upper-body injury that has kept him out of the last four games, including upset losses to Columbus (+199 at home) and Buffalo (+155 away).
