MetLife Stadium to host Stadium Series Games on consecutive days in 2024

Hours ahead of puck drop between the Florida Panthers and Vegas Golden Knights, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman held his annual press conference before the start of the 2023 Stanley Cup Final.

While meeting with reporters, Bettman announced that the 2024 Stadium Series would feature two outdoor games on consecutive days and feature four Metropolitan and geographical rivals playing at MetLife Stadium.

The Philadelphia Flyers will take on the New Jersey Devils on Saturday, February 17, 2024, and the New York Rangers will face off against the New York Islanders on Sunday, February 18.

Martin Necas got checked into Islanders bench and threw a punch on his way out

The 2023 NHL playoffs have kicked off in quite the rough and tumble way in the first round as we’ve already seen an elbow to the chin, a cut that required 75 stitches, and even a potential chokehold.

That did not change on Friday night as the Carolina Hurricanes and New York Islanders did battle in the third game of their series.

Hurricanes forward Martin Necas was the culprit in this case. The 24-year-old Czech got launched into the Islanders’ bench and was clearly not happy about it as he threw a punch at a seated Isles player before exiting back onto the ice.

Capitals somehow and for some reason beat the Islanders: numbers for the morning after

The Washington Capitals put a ding in their draft lottery chances on Monday night when they took down the playoff-hopeful New York Islanders 5-2. In the process, they also helped the Pittsburgh Penguins out massively in terms of their postseason chances.

That all sounds terrible to me.

Baffling: Caps beat Islanders 5-2

The Washington Capitals beat the New York Islanders senselessly on Monday night. By senselessly I mean it didn’t make sense.

Before the game was 69 seconds old, the Caps had already scored twice: first from red-hot Dylan Strome, then from the normal-temperatured Rasmus Sandin. Someone named Craig Smith (???) made it 3-0 after one period – in a game the team for some reason was trying to win.

After a scoreless second period, Hudson Fasching got a net-front rebound to end Darcy Kuemper’s shutout bid, but Tom Wilson got an empty-netter soon after. With the goalie pulled again, Casey Cizikas finished off a nice passing sequence to bring the Islanders back within two goals. After some more empty-net stuff, Dylan Strome scored from his knees to finish it.

Caps win 5-2. The Capitals losing streak ends at six.

Capitals vs Islanders live analysis and updates (April 10, 2023)

This is your place to check for updates and comment along with the Washington Capitals vs. New York Islanders game on April 10, 2023.

The Washington Capitals’ season is almost over. They have three games in the next four nights before their first playoff-less season in nine years is kaput.

Tonight, the Capitals will take on the New York Islanders who are fiercely battling for one of the final two wild card spots in the East. The Capitals have officially clinched a spot in the premium part of the NHL Draft Lottery where it’s possible — albeit barely — they could move up and select Connor Bedard first overall. They will play with only 17 skaters again tonight — it appears out of choice.

Tonight’s game is on NBC Sports Washington and puck drop is a little after 7 pm. The Capitals are wearing their navy blue W alternates.

Why Pittsburgh Penguins fans are now rooting for the Washington Capitals

All 32 teams in the NHL will play on Saturday for the first time in NHL history. There are several games that will be crucial in the three-team, wild-card playoff race between the Eastern Conference’s Florida Panthers, New York Islanders, and Pittsburgh Penguins.

One of those games on Saturday involves the Washington Capitals and comes against the Panthers who are clinging to one of the still up-for-grabs wild-card spots.

If the Capitals win and play spoilers, they would provide a path to the postseason for the Penguins.

So basically, everyone in Pittsburgh will be rooting for the Caps tonight, which is the strangest timeline.

Nonexistent third period helps sink Caps in shootout loss at home: numbers for the morning after

The Washington Capitals hosted the New York Islanders at Capital One Arena on Wednesday night and it wasn’t the prettiest hockey game in the world. Just two total goals between the two sides in regulation brought things to overtime and eventually a shootout which New York prevailed in.

At least the OT period was fun.

Capitals outlasted by divisional foes in defensive showdown: Islanders beat Caps 2-1 (SO)

The Washington Capitals hosted the New York Islanders for some late-season Metropolitan Division action on Wednesday night. The Caps could play spoiler a bit for the Isles down the stretch as they have one more scheduled matchup after this one and the Isles’ lead on the first wild-card playoff spot in the East is just three points.

Pierre Engvall opened the scoring with a very leaky goal on Darcy Kuemper. Conor Sheary tied things up with a wicked backhander.

Nothing in overtime so to the shootout we went.

Kuznetsov put the biscuit in the basket
Horvat put the biscuit in the basket
Oshie did NOT put the biscuit in the basket
Palmieri put the biscuit in the basket
Backstrom did NOT put the biscuit in the basket

Islanders beat Caps 2-1.
