My Prediction
Washington Capitals by 2In analyzing this faceoff between the Washington Capitals and the New York Islanders, it's important to let you in on a little secret - that secret being the goalkeepers from both sides. You see, the Capitals have Charlie Lindgren who astonishingly made 168 saves last month at an 87.0 save percentage, quite impressive. Though we shouldn't overlook Logan Thompson, with a save percentage of 87.1% from 121 saves, he is indeed a force to reckon with. The Islanders, on the other hand, trot out Ilya Sorokin who has made nearly 300 saves last month boasting a sparkling save percentage of 90.9. Don't forget Marcus Hogberg either, despite his lower 81.7 save percentage.
If we're talking star power, the Capitals bring quite a deck to the table. El Capitan Alex Ovechkin is a goal-scoring machine with 10 goals last month alone. Dylan Strome and Tom Wilson too are on the radar, contributing with goals and assists alike. Islanders aren't far behind though. Led by Bo Horvat who netted eight goals last month, Islanders have a good attack line up. Noah Dobson and Tony DeAngelo support well with a combined 12 goals in the last month.
When we look at prior bouts between the teams, the Islanders have shown dominance with a 3-2 advantage over the Capitals. The regular season records also paint a thrilling picture. The Capitals appear as the stronger side with a majestic 50-9-21 record while the Islanders stand at a respectable 35-12-33.
Of course, the most recent of events have left the Capitals a little shaken. Who would forget their recent debacle against Columbus that left them 7-0 down? That has to hurt. Islanders are riding their own roller coaster with that stunning 9-2 victory over New York a major sugar rush!
Alright, I can see you're already tired of all of this chap. So are you ready for the money statement? Rumble rolls, please. Looking at the doughnut in all its glory, I'd say, Albert’s Prediction: Washington Capitals by 2. Don't worry, you can thank me later for this prediction. I'm in no hurry.
