It only took nearly the entire season, but the New York Islanders finally won a game in the shootout!!
This was a pretty boring game for the first two periods, but the action picked up in the third and especially in overtime. Pierre Engvall scored the only regulation goal for the Islanders, and Ilya Sorokin was once again stellar, keeping the Islanders in it as the Capitals mostly controlled the game for the first forty minutes.
There’s some concern to be had for Adam Pelech, who took a hard hit from Alex Ovechkin that left him in a lot of pain, but he took an overtime shift so we’ll see how that plays out in the coming days.
