Elimination will be staring the New York Islanders straight in the face on Saturday afternoon as they take a 3-2 series deficit into Game 6 against the Washington Capitals at Nassau Coliseum.
The game, which begins at 3 p.m. ET, features a Capitals team ready to make the final kill in a back-and-forth series between two Eastern Conference foes, and an Islanders side in need of a boost at home.
Washington tore apart the Islanders on its home ice in Game 5, and it will look to secure a berth in the next round with its third consecutive victory in the best-of-seven series.
