An Ovi-less Washington Capitals matched up with the New York Islanders again with a chance to move ahead of the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Metropolitan Division. Could they try and help themselves avoid that Florida Panthers first-round series?
Brock Nelson and Anders Lee both struck on the power play to give the Isles a 2-0 lead after twenty minutes. Nada in the second. Jean-Gabriel Pageau for the third. Kyle Palmieri for four. Josh Bailey dunks on the Caps for five.
AJF with his second career goal.
