One of the phrases so often overused in sports is “must-win”. Is it a must-win, or a can’t lose for the Islanders tonight? Even though it’s incredibly cliche, you can make a strong case that the Islanders have to win tonight.
So far, the Isles are 0-1-1 in their three-game series against the Washington Capitals.
