The Washington Capitals traveled to play the New York Islanders at UBS Arena after a home-opener loss to the Boston Bruins, seeking their first win of the 2025-26 season. Alex Ovechkin returns to the arena where he surpassed Wayne Gretzky's all-time goals record and stands three goals shy of 900 career goals. The Capitals will debut defenseman Matthew Schaefer, the first overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft. Last season the Capitals went 2-1 against the Islanders. The Islanders will be without Jonathan Drouin due to suspension, and Ilya Sorokin will start after a 4-3 loss. Puck drop is 7:00 pm on Monumental Sports Network with Joe Beninati and Craig Laughlin calling the game.
