Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Monday night hockey game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.
Heading into the NHL playoff season, ESPN.com reporter Scott Burnside ranked the "Super 16" teams earlier this month:
Islanders (14): "If we hadn't watched Jaroslav Halak allow a goal with 2.1 seconds in regulation against the Philadelphia Flyers in the third-to-last game of the season, and then watched the Isles spit up home-ice advantage in Game 82 when they couldn't close out the Columbus Blue Jackets, we might feel differently about their chances. We did see it, though. So did everyone else. So here they are."
Current winning record, 3-3.
Capitals (5): "This team is why we didn't pick the Rangers to win it all. Happy days are here again in Washington, with Barry Trotz making believers of everyone, most of all his players."
Current winning record, 3-3.
The game will be broadcasted live on local channels NBCS, RSN, CSMA, TVA, and MSG+, but fans can also listen in on the radio at WTOP, WFED, 99.9 The Fan, and WRHU.
