The NY Islanders take on the Washington Capitals in a Metropolitan Division showdown in the opening round of the NHL Stanley Cup hockey playoffs. Game 2 sees the Islanders with a one game to nothing lead, having stolen away Game 1 on the road in order to shift the balance of the series going forward. Tonight’s game has an early starting time and airs on a hard to find TV channel as well as a live stream online option for mobile and digital viewers.
The Capitals took home field advantage by virtue of a 45-26 overall record during the NHL regular season, good enough for second place in the division. The Islanders finished in third place in the division with a 47-28 record. Although both teams ended with 101 points, Washington held the tiebreaker for home ice. However if the Islanders can win again today, they’ll be able to return home to New York with a commanding series lead.
Tonight’s NY Islanders vs Washington Capitals NHL hockey playoff Game 2 has a start time schedule of 7:00pm eastern time and airs on TV channel NBCSN as well as a live stream online.
