"Last time these two teams met, things went great for their captain and not so great for the team overall. But it's a new season, and the Caps will be looking to bounce back from their loss to the Bruins, while the Islanders host their own home opener and try to shake off a season-opening loss to Pittsburgh. First, some admin stuff: Coach Carbery made some tweaks to the lineup after the opening-night clunker, reuniting the giant human line, with Logan Thompson back in net:"

The previous meeting favored the captain but not the overall team performance. The Capitals aim to rebound from a loss to the Bruins while the Islanders open at home after losing to Pittsburgh. Coach Carbery altered the Capitals' lineup following the opening-night clunker, reuniting the giant human line and inserting Logan Thompson back in net. Forward groupings list Ovechkin–Strome–McMichael, Protas–Dubois–Wilson, Beauvillier–Lapierre–Leonard, Duhaime–Dowd–Sourdif. Defensive pairs are Fehervary–Carlson, Sandin–Roy, Chychrun–van Riemsdyk. The adjustments aim to stabilize play and produce an immediate response this season.
