"📸: RMNB Don't look now, but the Washington Capitals are streaking after defeating the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday. They won two games in a row for the first time since December 3. Now they're going for three, and it comes against a very important opponent. The New York Islanders sit in third and directly in front of the Capitals in the Metropolitan Division standings, four points in front of the Caps."
"It's one of those rare "four-point games" where a win could bring them right back into the playoff race, and a loss could really put them behind the 8-ball. With all their goaltenders still hurt, the Capitals will turn to Clay Stevenson again, while the Isles will counter with David Rittich. Puck drop for today's game is scheduled for a little after 7:00 pm. Today's game is on Monumental Sports Network. Joe Beninati and Craig Laughlin have the call."
