The Washington Capitals will be high on confidence after beating the St Louis Blues in their home opener by a score of 3-2. They now fly back out east to play another team in the New York Islanders for their home opener.

The Islanders had a pretty good 18-19 season and made the playoffs when many people rode them off before the season started.
That won’t be the case this year as this team has plenty of young stars in the making and will look to go further into the playoffs in 19-20.
Washington Capitals
The Caps got their season off on the right foot in their first game at the Blues and will look to disappoint more home fans in the Islanders home opener. Orlov, Ovechkin and Vrana all got on the scoresheet in that one with 4 of the teams total assists coming from John Carlson and Lars Eller.
Everyone was saying the Caps only weakness in the preseason was their age, but they certainly didn’t show it in their season opener and now will be looking for more of the same in New York against the Islanders.

New York Islanders
Islanders fans have plenty of reason to be excited after last year and will be expecting more in the coming 19-20 season.
This team had some good news in the offseason as they were able to re-sign their captain Anders Lee.
The one big question mark hanging over this team’s head is if the goaltending will be anywhere as close to as good as it was last year as they lost Lehner in the offseason.
The team did sign Varlamov, but there are plenty of question marks about him as he is 5 years removed from his last Vezina caliber season.

Free Washington Capitals vs. New York Islanders NHL Prediction:
The Washington Capitals are the better team in this one, but they are once again playing a team on their home opener and they just had to fly in from St Louis.
4* Free NHL Betting Pick: Islanders ML -120/ Lean OVER
That was also a massive game for the Caps so I just don’t think it is a great spot to back them so I am going to go with the slight home favorite with a lean to the over.
