Capitals 5 (2 EN), Islanders 2: Isles no longer control their playoff destiny

Yeah that stunk. But if you didn’t expect this outcome, are you even an Islanders fan?? I’m amazed they even scored twice. I kept getting flashbacks to 2015 Game 7 in this same building, and that near no-show effort. It’s just so... Islanders.

Yes there’s injuries, yes they’ve had to play at an insane point pace just to get to this position. But come on. This was a depleted Caps team, and the Islanders had no answers for them in a must-win game. Now we have to hope the Penguins and Panthers lose games and that we take care of business against Montreal.
