Despite the nominal number of contests, Wednesday's three-game slate packs a hard playoff-shuffling punch. Which means those engaged on this eve are still trying (read: not resting), with all their respective productive and goaltending might. For instance, hardly secure in their WC1 spot in the East, the Islanders hope to reverse their head-to-head 2022-23 fortunes against a not-mathematically-eliminated Capitals club that's outscored them 9-4 through two earlier meetings. Look for Ilya Sorokin to start across from Darcy Kuemper in this 7:30 start at Capital One Arena.
