The Islanders are in Washington and the Panthers are at home against the Maple Leafs. Neither opponent has anything to play for other than to mess with things.
The Capitals have several injuries but we’re not falling for that trick. Opportunity beckons but danger lurks.
Warmups coming up shortly for Islanders-Capitals.
To review, Capitals will play with 17 skaters again tonight with Nic Dowd (upper) the lastest injury along with Alex Ovechkin (upper), Anthony Mantha (lower), Trevor van Riemsdyk (upper) and T.J. Oshie (upper).— Tom Gulitti (@TomGulittiNHL) April 10, 2023For the Islanders tonight, no expected lineup changes.
