Washington Capitals vs New York Islanders: The Capitals will win in the sixth head-to-head encounter in a row

Prediction for the NHL Washington Capitals vs New York Islanders match, which will take place on April 27. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Washington had a very tough regular season but still managed to make the playoffs. They had a long losing streak. In their last ten games, the Capitals left the ice only once without a point, losing 3:7 to Toronto, losing a couple more times outside of regulation time to Vegas and the same Toronto (3:4), but winning seven times and thus securing a playoff spot, sitting in an eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings.

The Islanders have not been solving any tournament problems for a long time. The first half of the current regular season has been a smashing failure. After the equator of the season, the team returned to their usual high level, but it was too late, so they only managed to get close to the playoffs. The Islanders went on a five-game losing streak, leaving them in ninth place in the Eastern Conference standings.

The Capitals have had a much better season and are in good form at the end of the regular season, picking up points in nine of their last ten games, while the Islanders have only lost the previous five meetings. What's more, the Red and Blue have won their previous five meetings, so it's a good bet on Washington to win for 1.868.

In their last six head-to-head encounters, the opponents have only combined for 19 goals (3.17 average per game). We shouldn't expect a goal feast because it's more important for the Capitals to pick up two points while the Islanders haven't needed anything for a long time. That's why we suggest betting on a total under 5.5 for 2.09.

Tom Wilson is having the best season of his already long career. In 75 games, the Canadian forward has scored 52 points (24 goals + 28 assists). The 28-year-old hockey player is obviously in top form, so we suggest betting on Tom Wilson's Total Over 0.5 for 1.76.
