Capitals 3, Islanders 2: No sweep in a game to forget

I bet you really thought you could relax after the Islanders were jumping through the first half of the first period, completely outclassing the Capitals and scoring two goals - one from JG Pageau and one from Mathew Barzal. The shot attempts were insanely tilted in the Islanders’ favor, the forecheck was clicking, and then... it stopped. The Capitals took advantage of the Islanders stepping off the gas and taking stupid penalties, and goals from Evgeny Kuznetsov and Alexander Ovechkin gave the Islanders their first loss of the series, and it was the first game where the Capitals looked like the threatening team we know they can be at their best.
