The encouraging news is that the Saskatchewan native sported a .925 SV% with a 1.98 GAA in the three round-robin games, which leads me to believe that his regular-season struggles could be behind him, which does not bode well for anyone he goes up against. Oct. 4: 2-1 Capitals win. Beauvillier scored on the power play midway through the first period and then at even strength in the second, taking a big hit into the net from Tom Wilson while finishing his second goal of the game. But he was on the ice today, and is taking steps in the right direction. Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin registered his first point of the NHL's restart when he scored 56 seconds in. Then another Capitals mistake wound up in their net. "For whatever reason, our team wasn't able to mentally and physically get to our game for long enough," Reirden said. In the series against the Panthers, the Islanders were able to quiet one of the best offensive units in the league, allowing only 1.75 goals per game. Unlike the Capitals, the Islanders welcomed back injured players rather than seeing crucial players hit the shelf (Johhny Boychuk is skating again). The biggest concern is the goaltending for the Capitals, so if Holtby can play like he did in the round-robin, then he gives his team a fighting chance against this tough Islander hockey club.

Let’s take a look at the keys for both teams in what should be an outstanding series: The biggest key to this series for the Capitals is the play of netminder Braden Holtby, who is coming off the worst season of his NHL career. And while they did not end the year allowing the least amount of goals like they did following the 2018-19 campaign, they were top five this year, allowing 190 goals in 68 games (2.79 GA/G). Veteran defenseman Dmitry Kulikov has signed a one-year, $1.15 million dollar contract with the New Jersey Devils, the team announced Thursday. This matchup is all a hockey fan can hope for, as the bad blood between these two clubs will certainly be boiling when the puck drops for Game 1 Wednesday at 3:00 PM EST. "That's the strength of our team is getting back to that game that's successful for us. Game notes The Islanders made a lineup change by putting Ross Johnston into the lineup in place of Derick Brassard. He scored again in the second period to tie it and missed out on a second career playoff hat trick when he hit the side of the net on a prime chance on the power play in the third.
