Michael Latta on Lane Lambert’s hiring by Islanders: ‘Incredible coach, about time he got a head coaching opportunity’

The New York Islanders announced the hiring of former Capitals assistant coach, Lane Lambert, as its new head coach on Monday. Lambert will replace his longtime partner, Barry Trotz, who was fired last week.

Lambert, 57, had served under Trotz for the last 10 years as both an assistant coach, associate coach, and an interim head coach (two weeks last season) during stints in Nashville, Washington, and Long Island.

Lambert won the Stanley Cup with the Washington Capitals in 2018 and was responsible for the team’s forwards and penalty kill.

The Caps apparently really want to play the Florida Panthers: Islanders beat Capitals 5-1

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.

Islanders beat Capitals 5-1.

Live blog: Capitals rematch Islanders without Alex Ovechkin

It’s like deja vu. The Washington Capitals will have another opportunity to get out of the second wild card spot against the New York Islanders. The only thing different is that the game is being held at UBS Arena.

The Capitals switched up their forward lines after Tuesday’s dreadful performance. Axel Jonsson Fjallby is in for Connor McMichael and will skate on the third line.

Vitek Vanecek will get the start tonight against Semyon Varlamov.

Tonight’s game is on NBC Sports Washington. Here is today’s Daily Deals.

Opportunity squandered: Islanders beat Caps 4-1

The Washington Capitals hosted the New York Islanders for their last home game of the season on Tuesday night. Without Alex Ovechkin in the lineup, the Caps seemed to be missing all their pizazz, which is a fun word to say and spell, unlike this hockey game, which sucked to watch and recap.

Conor Sheary kicked us off by deflecting Marcus Johansson’s shot for his 19th goal of the season. Ryan Pulock returned fire with a monster power-play goal. After a scoreless second period, Noah Dobson banked a go-ahead goal off Trevor van Riemsdyk’s leg. Then Dmitry Orlov and Ilya Samsonov miscommunicated behind the net and allowed a shorthanded goal from Casey Cizikas. Anders Lee had a lovely release to make it 4-1.

Caps lose.

Live blog: Capitals take on Islanders without Alex Ovechkin

The Washington Capitals have three games left in the 2021-22 regular season. They control their own destiny if they want to NOT play the Florida Panthers in the first round.

Their first test, which will also be their next test, is the New York Islanders. They will do so without Alex Ovechkin, who has an upper-body injury. Connor McMichael will draw into the lineup and TJ Oshie will get an A in Ovi’s absence.

Ilya Samsonov will get back into the net for the Capitals. Tonight’s game is on NBC Sports Washington.
