Washington Capitals vs. New York Islanders Game 4 live stream, start time, updated odds
The New York Islanders look to complete a sweep of the Washington Capitals in Game 4 on Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. EST.
After winning the first three games of the series, the New York Islanders have the opportunity to put the Washington Capitals away in Game 4. Game 4 will be held on Tuesday, Aug. 18 starting at 8:00 p.m. EST.
Meanwhile, the Capitals will be fighting for their playoff lives. Their backs are against the wall and, for better or for worse, fans will get to see what they’re truly made of. A win in Game 4 would extend their season and give them some much-needed life in the series.
The Capitals suffered a heartbreaking overtime loss in Game 3 thanks to Mathew Barzal’s overtime goal. So far, the Islanders have been by far the better team in the series. If the Capitals want to become the fifth team in NHL history to overcome a 3-0 series deficit, that’s going to have to change immediately.
