The Capitals are going for three in a row after losing back-to-back games and are coming off a 5-4 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thanksgiving Eve on the road. Tampa Bay scored the first two goals of the game but Washington wasn’t deterred. Washington would tie the game and then the Lightning and Capitals would trade off goals until Tom Wilson’s power play goal with 3:26 left in the third period made the difference. It didn’t help that Charlie Lindgren put the Lighting up 4-3 on an own goal under no pressure. The Capitals were lucky that error alone didn’t lose them the game.

The Islanders are coming off a 6-3 loss in their Thanksgiving Eve game against the Boston Bruins. For much of the game, the contest was much closer than the final score would indicate. Boston scored the first two goals of the game but New York came right back and tied the matchup at two goals apiece midway through the second. The second period would end tied 3-3.

But the third period was all Boston scoring three unanswered goals. Brock Nelson was a bright spot for the Islanders scoring two goals and adding an assist. Boston won big though despite only getting off 21 shots. Washington will be an even tougher opponent so the defense and goaltending have no room for error tonight.
