Washington vs NY Islanders Prediction: Both Won't Score Many

Prediction for the NHL match between Washington vs NY Islanders, which will take place on November 3d. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Washington

In the first few games, Washington failed to score and also played poorly overall. But gradually, the team seemed to get used to the demands of new coach Spencer Carbery. The Capitals came into the matchup with the New York Islanders riding a three-game winning streak. First, they had a brilliant away match against New Jersey that ended in a 6-4 victory. Then they beat Minnesota (3-2 in a shootout) and San Jose (3-1) at home.

The scoring performance of Alexander Ovechkin deserves special mention. He has only two goals so far, but already has six assists). As for Evgeny Kuznetsov, the center forward has 1+4 goals and assists at the beginning of the championship.

NY Islanders

The team from New York ended the era of Barry Trotz before the last season, relying on his assistant, Lane Lambert. The Islanders' hockey hasn't changed much. The team still doesn't concede often but is far from always effective in front of the net. In this regard, there is no chance of overturning the result of the last championship when the team was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.

In the previous game, the Islanders failed in overtime to Detroit (4-3), only to get back on track a few minutes before the final buzzer. This is the Islanders' third straight meeting over Detroit, as they defeated Ottawa (3-2) and Columbus (2-0) in regulation.

Washington is on a roll, winning three games in a row. But the Islanders are also on a three-game streak. Today's opponents seem to be about the same level, so let's not look for a favorite. Let's take TU - NY is playing defensively while the Capitals are still struggling to adjust to the style of their new head coach.
