Capitals 3, Islanders 2 (OT): Isles rally but fall short in overtime

It was an unfortunate end to the game, but the New York Islanders played a solid road game on a back-to-back against a well-rested Washington Capitals team.

They fell behind twice in the game and came back both times, nice goals at (notably) even strength by Hudson Fasching and Anders Lee.

It wasn’t mean to be in overtime, but the penalty kill did its job in regulation, even though the power play failed to convert on three chances.

Tough to give two points to a division rival, and especially to one close to us in the standings, but ultimately it wasn’t a terrible result to get this game to OT and get a point on the road.
